Scrawl is a screen-capture tool for showing a coding agent a problem instead of describing it.
Follow Scrawl to get an email when its listing changes, such as new pricing or features. One digest a day at most, and you can unsubscribe anytime.
You press a shortcut, talk, click around and draw on screen, and Scrawl packs the recording, voice and marks into a compact bundle an agent can read: an annotated contact sheet, keyframes, a time-aligned transcript and a structured manifest.
