Annotate lets developers record screen actions, draw visual cues, and speak context to generate multimodal prompts for AI coding agents.

Annotate is a free, local-only macOS utility that converts screen recordings into contextual prompts for AI coding tools like Cursor, Claude, and Codex. By allowing users to record screen interactions, sketch directly on UI elements, and narrate their instructions, the tool provides structured input for AI developers. It streamlines the handoff of visual bug reports and layout modifications while keeping all screen data securely on the local device.

// ANALYSIS

Text-only prompts struggle to convey complex UI behaviors, making voice and visual annotations a vastly superior way to communicate with AI coding assistants.

• Combines screen recording, drawing overlays, and voice narration into clear visual prompts for AI code generation tools.

• Local-only processing guarantees that proprietary code, internal user interfaces, and screen data remain private.

• Dramatically speeds up front-end bug reporting and iterative design requests without requiring detailed text write-ups.
