Capture your screen, drop numbered markers on what matters, and copy a ready-to-paste prompt for your AI agent — an annotated image plus instructions that reference every marker.
macOS 15+ · Apple Silicon & Intel
Editor — drop markers, write a note, copy for your agent
No round-trips, no describing pixels in words.
Press ⌘⇧1 and drag a rectangle. Native resolution, multi-display and Retina aware.
Click to place pins and add a note to each. Add arrows and rectangles for emphasis.
⌘C copies the annotated image and a structured text that references every marker — and drops the same three files at a stable path your agent can read on its own.
Everything you need to point an agent at the right pixel.
Each marker also carries what macOS knows about the element under it — role, label, owning app and its frame.
Vision reads the text under each marker — errors, class names, log lines — and it travels with the capture.
Drag over a token or a secret before it ships. Hidden in the image, the text and the accessibility context alike.
⌘Z through any change. Markers, arrows and rectangles stay selectable, movable and resizable after you drop them.
Hold Space while dragging to snap the selection to a window instead of drawing it freehand.
Ringed, numbered pins in three styles, plus arrows and rectangles for emphasis, drawn straight on the capture.
Optionally embed the marker descriptions and instructions into the image, so a single paste carries everything.
Browse, search, favorite and reopen your screenshots from a built-in library.
SwiftUI + ScreenCaptureKit, living in your menu bar. Captures, OCR reads and accessibility context stay on your Mac.
A native menu-bar companion — capture, organize, and tune it to the way you work.
Every copy also writes capture.png, capture.md and capture.json to a stable path — because Claude Code and most MCP clients don’t render inline images (the upstream bug was closed “not planned”), so a file an agent opens itself is the channel that actually works. capture.md lists each marker’s position in pixels and percent, the accessibility element found under it — role, label, owning app — and whatever text was read there on device. None of it depends on a page’s DOM, so it reads the same in any app.
# Annotated capture — 1720×1046 px
An image is attached. Numbered (ringed) badges point to specific elements.
Positions are given in pixels from the top-left corner (0, 0), then as a percentage of the image size.
## Markers
M1, M2… are the numbers drawn on the image; the code in brackets is a stable ID for that marker.
“UI” lines name the interface element found under the marker in the macOS accessibility tree at capture time — its role, its label, the app owning it, and its box in this image. “Path” is the chain of containers around it.
“Text” lines are what Pinpoint read in the pixels under the marker, on this Mac. A marker’s description may have been pre-filled from such a read and then edited by the user.

## Task — Bug
The markers point at a defect. Find its cause before proposing anything: locate the code that produces what is marked, explain why it behaves this way, then propose the smallest change that addresses the cause rather than the symptom. If the capture isn’t enough to be sure, say what you would need to look at.
## Instructions
The Export CSV button overflows its card at this width, and the date-range error stays on screen after picking a valid range.Reachable without the editor too: `pinpoint capture` from a script or a hook, or `pinpoint mcp` as a stdio MCP server exposing capture_region, get_last_capture and list_recent.
