SlimSnap is a free screenshot and screen recording app for Mac and Windows. Every capture saves the image plus a JSON file with each piece of on-screen text, its position and color, and any arrows or boxes you drew, linked to the element they point at.
Why: coding agents like Claude Code and Cursor read screenshots as downscaled images, so small text blurs, and they can't watch a video at all.
Features:
Region, window and scrolling capture with autoscroll
Screen recording with voice: talk while you record, your words become text on your machine, the video saves as MP4
Interactions: every click that changes the screen becomes a step (dashboard, click "Invoices", invoice list), so an agent can follow the exact path to a bug. Keystrokes are never recorded
Annotations: Arrows, boxes, highlights and text, on screenshots and recordings
Copy as PNG, as JSON, or both
