About Supamaus
Supamaus Lite gives coding agents spatial context about what is on screen. With one keystroke the user captures a screenshot, circles or points at a region and speaks or types an instruction, and the app serves the image, the gesture trail, the transcript and the window's full text to an agent through a local MCP server. It replaces the loop of screenshotting, dragging the image into a terminal and describing the problem in words.
Voice is transcribed on the device with WhisperKit, capture sessions can span several regions and displays, and every capture goes into a history that can be copied, organized into folders by app and pasted anywhere. Setup is a single claude mcp add supamaus command. The app says it runs entirely on the Mac with no API keys and nothing uploaded, and it needs macOS 14 or later on Apple silicon. It is sold as a one-time launch purchase.
