Scrawl lets you show an AI agent a problem by recording your screen
Scrawl is a free, open-source app by developer Kit Langton for showing a coding agent a problem instead of typing it out. Press a shortcut, talk, click around and draw on the screen, press it again, and Scrawl packs the recording into a small bundle: a contact sheet of marked-up key frames, the full-size frames, a time-stamped transcript of what you said and did, and a data file. An add-on skill lets agents such as Claude Code, Codex and OpenCode read the bundle and zoom in on the moment you point to, and it can also export a shareable video. It needs an Apple silicon Mac on macOS 26 or later, with an unsigned Windows preview, and asks for screen recording, microphone and accessibility permissions. It is MIT-licensed and has about 465 stars on GitHub.
Why it matters: If you report bugs or design fixes to developers or agents, a 30-second narrated recording with marks often says more than a long message; try it on your next UI bug, and check what is on screen before you send it.
