SlimSnap helps terminal-based AI agents understand screenshots. On Mac, users capture and annotate a region, then copy a structured JSON representation that can be pasted into Claude Code, Aider, Codex CLI, Cursor, Continue.dev, SSH sessions, CI logs, or any text-only surface. The official site emphasizes fewer vision tokens and deterministic UI layout information for coding agents.
