Can I vibe code CleanShot X?
Mac screenshots with annotation, scrolling capture, and cloud.
The workflow Riley Brown teaches — annotate a screenshot, paste it to your agent — runs through this tool, and the capture+annotate core is buildable as a small native Mac app: hotkey, region select, arrows/boxes/text, copy to clipboard. Agents write decent Swift now. The long tail (scrolling capture, OCR, pin-to-screen, cloud links, video) is where the $8 earns itself. A focused personal version covers the 80% loop.
Build a minimal macOS screenshot annotation app in Swift/SwiftUI. Menu-bar app with a global hotkey that triggers region selection (screencapture -i to a temp file is fine for v1), then opens an annotation window: draw arrows, rectangles, freehand, text labels, and a pixelate/blur tool for secrets; undo/redo; color picker with 4 presets. Buttons: copy to clipboard, save to ~/Screenshots with a timestamp name, both closing the window. Keep the annotation canvas code well-structured (each tool a small type) and comment the NSPasteboard image handling. Include a build-and-run README for Xcode.
A Mac menu-bar app: hotkey region capture, an annotation window (arrows, rectangles, text, blur), copy-to-clipboard and save-to-folder.
- Scrolling capture and reliable window shadows
- OCR text grab and pin-to-screen overlays
- Instant cloud upload links
- Screen recording with GIF export
It's $8 for a tool used 30 times a day where every rough edge would grate. Utilities this frequent get held to appliance standards.
A prompt is the first move, not the whole game. Course 01 teaches you to take a prompt like this one to a shipped, working app — reviewing, correcting, and steering the agent the whole way.
