Description
Aki is a free Mac app for people who code with AI agents. Press ⇧⌘A, point at anything on screen (an element in Chrome, an area, a terminal error, a file in Finder), write what should change and press ⌘⏎. Claude Code, Codex or any MCP agent gets the exact element and your note in the right session: a localhost page goes to the worktree serving that port. Made for running many agents at once. Text first, a crop only when it helps. Local, no account.

Could you build this?
Partial Screen capture and global hotkeys in macOS are straightforward, but accurately inspecting arbitrary GUI accessibility trees, extracting element context, and integrating statefully into external coding agent sessions requires tricky OS-level hooks.
What it would actually take: The application requires deep use of macOS Accessibility APIs (AXUIElement) and the ScreenCaptureKit framework in Swift/Objective-C to resolve exact UI nodes and OCR fallbacks. It also needs local socket or IPC bridges to interface with active agent processes (Cursor, Claude Code, MCP servers) and map screen coordinates to underlying codebase files. This demands specialized macOS systems programming and UI automation engineering.
