- Precision Screen CaptureBased on Apple's ScreenCaptureKit technology, it supports capturing the entire screen, application-specific windows (including fuzzy matching), provides multiple output formats such as PNG/JPG/Base64, and automatically optimizes the image quality (e.g., removing shadows).
- Intelligent Visual Analytics: Supports both local (Ollama et al.) and cloud-based (GPT-4 Vision/Claude) AI models, enabling semantic understanding of captured content and natural language Q&A.
- Developer FriendlyCLI command line and MCP server modes with TypeScript support, JSON API and window management for easy integration into automated workflows.
