Scrawl records your screen, voice, clicks and drawings, then packs them into one compact capture you paste into your AI coding agent. Press ⌥⇧S, talk, click and draw. Frames are taken only when something happens, speech is transcribed on your Mac, and each frame is cropped to where you worked. Works with iPhone mirroring and ScrawlKit for iOS apps. Open source (MIT). macOS 15+, Apple silicon.

Could you build this?
Partial The packaging and UI are buildable, but a native macOS app that captures screen, clicks, and audio with on-device transcription needs ScreenCaptureKit and permissions handling that vibe coding can only partly handle.
What it would actually take: The stack is a Swift/AppKit menu bar app using ScreenCaptureKit for frame capture, CGEvent taps for clicks, and an on-device speech model such as Whisper or Apple's Speech framework. The hard parts are reliable change-triggered frame capture, privacy-safe cropping, and macOS permission flows, which need someone comfortable with native macOS APIs.
