Annotate

Free

Record your screen, point and speak — turn the session into a video prompt for Cursor, Claude Code, or Codex.

Key features

  • Point-and-Speak Recording: Capture your screen while drawing and narrating so the agent gets both visual and voice context.
  • Cursor / Claude Code / Codex Handoff: Drop the session directly into your existing agent — no prompt draft to write.
  • MCP-Based Delivery: Sends frames and speech through MCP so the agent reads structured context instead of a raw video blob.
  • Multi-Monitor Capture in One Take: Record app on one display and editor on another together in a single session.
  • UI Markup Tools: Pen, rectangle, and text annotations mark the exact button or region you mean.
  • Local-Only Processing: Runs entirely on-device on Apple Silicon — no upload, no login, no cloud.
  • Fewer Tokens per Change: Structured video prompts reduce token load compared to pasting long written briefs.
  • Free for Mac: No account, no paid tier — full functionality out of the box.

Best for

  • UI Bug Report to Agent: Record a broken flow, circle the problem, and hand it to Cursor to fix.
  • Design Review with Coding Agent: Show a Figma-to-code diff on-screen and dictate the required visual tweaks.
  • Cross-App Debugging: Capture logs in one window and the failing UI in another, then let the agent reason across both.
  • Refactor Requests: Highlight a specific component in the editor and describe the desired API change verbally.
  • Onboarding a Junior Agent: Walk through a repo layout on video so Codex has context before making changes.
  • Privacy-Sensitive Codebases: Prompt an on-device agent about sensitive UIs without any recording leaving the Mac.

Turns a smartphone video of an open trench into a centimetre-accurate 3D point cloud, CAD as-built plan and GIS-ready digital twin of buried utilities.

Key features

  • Smartphone capture: Field crews record an open trench with a standard iPhone Pro — no specialist scanning hardware and no separate surveying appointment
  • Centimetre-accurate point clouds: Reconstruction algorithms developed at ETH Zurich build a high-resolution 3D point cloud of the excavation from the video alone
  • Standards-compliant CAD output: Generates as-built plans in DWG and DXF, with couplings and pipe runs identified and measurements simplified
  • 3D digital twin and GIS export: Produces a model of the pipe route including building entries that drops into existing GIS systems
  • Works without GPS: Captures basement sections and building entry points where GNSS-based surveying fails
  • Immediate backfilling: Because capture takes minutes, trenches close right after filming instead of waiting on a survey crew
  • Documentation in about 72 hours: Complete records arrive weeks earlier than conventional surveying, enabling prompt connection billing
  • Third-party utility capture: Records crossing utilities and as-laid geometry as unbroken 3D evidence, replacing hand sketches

Best for

  • A utility network operator documenting residential service connections without booking a surveyor for every site
  • A contractor closing a trench the same day instead of leaving it open pending a survey appointment
  • Capturing a building entry point in a basement where GPS-based surveying cannot get a fix
  • A district heating project producing as-built DWG plans for regulatory sign-off
  • Spotting a laying error in the 3D point cloud before backfilling, while the fix is still cheap
  • Feeding as-built pipe geometry into a GIS system for long-term network maintenance planning
