Screen recordings become walkthroughs people will actually watch. Screenshots and notes become a bundle an AI agent can work from. One tray icon, no account, and nothing leaves your machine unless you send it.
Windows 10 (2004+) or 11, x64. MIT licensed. No telemetry, no sign-in.

A person needs something worth watching. An agent needs files it can read and act on. Same hotkeys, two outputs.
The cursor is recorded as data, then drawn back smoothed and enlarged with a ripple on every click. Zooms follow the work. Your camera sits in a bubble. Trim, cut, export to MP4.
Drag a region, say what's wrong, keep going. Finish, and you have a folder an agent can work from, with the prompt written for you.
# QA bundle: Settings review ## 1. Settings page > Everything on this page is a bit off ### 1.1 Save button  Clipped at 125% scaling; label wraps.
Drag a region. Do the thing. Press it again to stop.
Push in where the work is, while you record.
A screenshot and a note, when something needs fixing.
Everything Screen Studio and Loom charge for, drawn from data you already recorded, editable after the fact.
A zoom block pushes in with an eased 600 ms move, holds still while the cursor moves inside the middle of the view, and eases after it near the edges. Tightness is a slider.
A ripple where every click landed. Keystroke badges for shortcuts only, or every key. Hide any single badge from the timeline.
Your camera in a circle or rounded bubble, any corner, any size. Narration recorded on the same clock and cut with the video.
Start and end handles you can actually grab. Cut a stretch out of the middle, then drag it, resize it, or put it back. A filmstrip shows where you are.
A title and subtitle in the padding above or below the frame, and a logo from your brand folder in a corner of it. Five backgrounds, or plain.
The preview and the export share one renderer. Hardware H.264 where the machine has it, AAC narration, 30 or 60 fps, written straight into the recording's folder.
No API, no plugin. Markdown that explains itself, images linked relatively, and a prompt written for the job: fix the issues, write the process doc, or your own.
Finish copies the folder path. Copy agent prompt fills it into the instruction.
claude "Work through the QA bundle at C:\Users\nick\QACut\2026-09-17_143022-settings-review. Start with bundle.md: each group is a page or area, its quoted master note applies to every screenshot under it, and each screenshot's note says what is wrong. Open each screenshot, and the key frames of any recording, before changing anything."

Public plans as of September 2026. They are good tools; they were not built to hand work to an agent.
Rust and TypeScript on Tauri. A few thousand lines you can read in an afternoon. Fork it, package it, ship it inside your own tools.
