ScrAnno Screen Annotator

Draw on your screen to give AI agents clearer visual instructions

Problem
Interacting with AI agents via text descriptions of screen content is inefficient. Someone built a Mac app that lets users 'draw on the screen to annotate important parts and use it as simpler pointers for AI agents screenshot inputs,' showing a real pain point in visual aid for AI understanding.
Solution
A lightweight screen annotation tool triggered by hotkey, letting you draw circles, arrows, text on any app, screenshot with annotations auto-attached and sent to AI agents; supports history and common annotation templates.
Users
Developers, designers, and support staff who interact with AI via screenshots
MVP
Global hotkey to start annotation; support pen, arrow, text; screenshot and copy to clipboard or send directly to specified AI client; simple history.
Revenue
Free tier limited to 10 annotations/day; Pro one-time $19 unlocks unlimited and template library.
Why now
Multimodal AI agents are proliferating, increasing demand for visual instructions; indie developers can quickly build a Mac/Windows utility.
