README
Talkshot
Push-to-talk visual notes for macOS: screenshot what you're looking at, say what's wrong with it, and hand the whole thing to your AI coding assistant.
[!NOTE] **Talkshot is no longer actively developed.** It started as a way to edit videos and get things done faster with Claude Code. Those ideas have since moved on: video editing now lives in **[OpenMontage](https://openmontage.video)**, and the AI-assistant integration lives in **[OpenClicky](https://openclicky.flowsxr.com)**. Talkshot still works and stays available as-is, but new work happens there.
Thank you to everyone who tried Talkshot, filed issues, and sent feedback. It shaped both of those projects.
What it is
Talkshot lives in your menu bar. Hit one hotkey and it:
- Takes a screenshot of your main display, with your cursor circled in red
- Saves a cropped, zoomed-in shot of the area around your cursor
- Starts recording your voice
- Hit the hotkey again to stop: it transcribes what you said entirely on-device (Apple's Speech framework, nothing leaves your Mac)
- Appends everything (screenshot, crop, cursor position, transcript) to a session folder on your Desktop
The result is a structured, timestamped log of exactly what you were looking at and exactly what you said about it, built to be pasted straight into Claude Code, Cursor, or any AI coding assistant as rich, unambiguous context. No more "the button on the left,
