About Annotate
Annotate is a local-only screen recording application for Apple Silicon Macs designed to convert visual desktop walkthroughs into prompts for AI agents. Users can capture individual windows or full displays while marking up key interface elements with pen, rectangle, and text tools. Spoken audio is transcribed on-device and synchronized with recorded actions. Rather than sending large video files across the web, Annotate feeds extracted frames and transcripts to AI tools like Cursor, Claude Code, or Codex via MCP while keeping data local.
