- Mac developers directing coding agents with visual feedback
- Worth noticing
- The `yapsketch` CLI exposes timestamps, drawn events, page context, the full video, transcript, and raw event data.
Field notes
The app uses keyboard shortcuts to start recordings and add circles, boxes, or arrows while the user speaks. The homepage says recordings remain in `~/Movies/YapSketch`; speech-to-text runs on the Mac by default, with cloud providers offered as an option. The CLI can expose a recording’s video, transcript, event data, and a moment-by-moment report.
