Field notes
Mean records either a frozen screen or a timeline, then turns direct gestures into numbered pins, arrows, ellipses, rectangles, and lines without a visible tool palette. Its .mean format packages images and comments into a versioned session that can be reopened, while exports provide either a one-line command for an agent or an annotated image. The site also describes CLI, Skills, and MCP access for terminal and agent workflows.
