Description
Hands free: you never take the screenshot. Your agent asks over a local MCP server and gets one fresh capture plus the on-screen text, mid-task, without you cropping or pasting anything. Playwright already covers the DOM. Noru covers what it can't: native apps, simulators, system UI, final rendered pixels, and work spanning several apps. Nothing is uploaded. Captures stay on your Mac, Noru observes only, and every observation is acknowledged on screen first.

Could you build this?
Partial Building an MCP server wrapper is straightforward, but capturing cross-platform OS screen buffers, interacting with window APIs, and running low-latency OCR across native apps and simulators requires low-level system programming.
What it would actually take: A real build requires native OS screen recording APIs (CoreGraphics/ScreenCaptureKit on macOS, Desktop Duplication on Windows) bundled into a daemon, combined with native OCR engines (Apple Vision framework or Tesseract). This binary communicates via standard JSON-RPC over stdio or SSE adhering to the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to provide contextual snapshots to coding agents.
