ContextSnip

What it does

Record your screen. ContextSnip tracks every click, extracts the frames that matter, and bundles them into markdown your AI assistant already understands.

Record 10 seconds. Get numbered frames + transcript as markdown. Paste into Claude, Cursor, or ChatGPT. Every click, numbered and circled. ContextSnip watches where you interact and draws step markers directly on the extracted frames. No manual annotation. Narrate while you record. Whisper.cpp runs entirely on your machine, so your voice never leaves the device. The transcript is timestamped and bundled with each step. The output is structured markdown with embedded images, step descriptions, and narration. Paste it into Claude, ChatGPT, or Cursor. It just works. Not 1000 frames. Not 3. ContextSnip extracts click-aligned keyframes, deduplicates near-identical shots, and keeps only what…from contextsnip.com

  Screen memory without screenshots, just text to MarkdownAug 2026 · github.com · ▲62

  It's a macOS menu bar app that reads the text of your focused window every few seconds through the Accessibility API. No screenshots, no video, or OCR. It writes plain markdown, one file per day, into a folder you choose. Point Claude Code (or anything with file access) at the folder and ask "what did I work on Tuesday?" or have it build memory about your projects. The folder contains an AGENTS.md explaining the format to the model. Thought it might be useful for someone so chucked it up on GitHub

  Understand and reduce token usage with ContextSpy context profilerJun 2026 · github.com · ▲6

  Most devs using AI coding tools don't even imagine how much information they put in the context window - tools, MCPs, tool responses, active skills - all of which take up some real estate. Sometimes updating a tool description or trimming api response can give significant savings - and profiler helps to measure that

  Talanoa▲346

  Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

  Needle: We Distilled Gemini Tool Calling into a 26M Model▲776

  Hey HN, Henry here from Cactus. We open-sourced Needle, a 26M parameter function-calling (tool use) model. It runs at 6000 tok/s prefill and 1200 tok/s decode on consumer devices. We were always frustrated by the little effort made towards building agentic models that run on budget phones, so we conducted investigations that led to an observation: agentic experiences are built upon tool calling, and massive models are overkill for it. Tool calling is fundamentally retrieval-and-assembly (match query to tool name, extract argument values, emit JSON), not reasoning. Cross-attention…
