Most of my day now involves AI agents: Claude Code in the terminal, Codex, Cursor, ChatGPT. The slow part isn’t the models. It’s the hand-off: copying the error, switching apps, pasting, explaining which file and which project, then doing it all again for the next agent. So I built Beckon, a native Mac app. You press one shortcut in any app, and Beckon already knows what you’re looking at.

Partial A macOS hotkey and context-capture app that hands errors and files to coding agents is buildable, but reliable screen, window and app-context capture depends on macOS Accessibility and permissions work that vibe coding handles poorly.
What it would actually take: Expect a native Swift app using Accessibility APIs, ScreenCaptureKit and global hotkeys, plus integrations with each agent's CLI or IDE. The fragile parts are reading terminal and IDE state across apps and keeping that working across macOS updates. Someone with macOS system-level development experience would be needed for those.
