Annotate: File Drop

Free: Drop files as context for screen recording as prompt

What it does

Drag and drop files, images, folders or clipboard text and add it as context while screen recording with annotate and use it in the prompt for Cursor, Claude, Codex and any AI agent coding harness 100% free.

Record your screen, point and speak, and hand it off to AI. Video prompts for Cursor, Claude, and Codex — local-only and free.

Record your screen, draw or point at what matters, say the change. Drop the session into Cursor, Claude, or Codex — free, local only, no long prompt to write. Draw in the UI and say what you want changed. Skip the written brief. Open the session in Cursor, Claude, or Codex and let it take the next step. Pen, rectangle, and text — so the agent knows which button you mean. Agent reads the recording via MCP — frames and speech, not a giant video dump. App on one display, editor on the other — captured together. Your voice is transcribed and lined up with what was on screen when you said it. Open the session in Cursor, Claude Code, or Codex — no new chat app. Static shots lose clicks, timing,…from xannotate.com

  • I trained a 125M-parameter transformer to autocomplete piano performances in real time (~108 notes/sec on an iPhone 15). The idea is basically GitHub Copilot or Tabnine, except instead of prompting it with code, you prompt it by playing a few notes on a MIDI piano. The model then continues what you played, entirely on-device. The app is free if anyone wants to try it. Happy to answer questions about the model, training, Core ML, or the many things that didn't work.

  • Hey HN, Henry from Cactus here! We previously released Cactus Needle, a 14MB agentic LLM for tool call, device use, and structured extraction for phones, wearables, smart homes, small robots and microcontrollers. We got really great feedback here, and have now incorporated the suggestions to release Needle 2. The whole model is a single 14MB binary that runs a full session in 28MB of RAM; 45m parameters at 2bit compression. Needle hits 500 tokens/sec decode speed on a Raspberry Pi 5, sits between 400-1,500 tokens/sec on VR devices like Meta Quest 3S and Apple Vision Pro, and ranges…

    Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…
