It keeps recent captures in a stack, offers quick boxes, arrows and notes, and can stitch several screenshots into a numbered image.

Is Vignette right for you?
A good fit for
Choose it for mac developers who need to show an agent a precise visual problem and exchange marked-up screenshots.
Before you choose
Requires macOS 14 or later. Screenshots can contain private content, so inspect the capture before sending it to an agent. Agent-provider charges and image-handling limits are separate. The app was not installed for this review.
How to use Vignette
Capture the relevant interface, draw a focused annotation and remove irrelevant private details. Send it to the intended Claude Code or Codex session and inspect the agent’s reply. Use numbered stitching for multi-screen context, preserving legibility before transmission.
Editable annotations and agent handoff
The tool keeps drawing marks separate from the screenshot so they can be moved or removed later. Stitched captures are numbered, and the vendor says the layout aims to preserve detail under agent image limits. Drag-and-drop or Send transfers the image; this is an explicit screenshot handoff, not autonomous access to all Mac content.
