Zoomies - Five seconds saved. A little less frustrated. Every time.

by•
Screenshots, quick video and notes for working with AI coding agents. Capture an issue, name it, add a prompt to the image and carry on. Keyboard shortcuts and a small image editor keep the fiddling down. The idea: save a few seconds and a little frustration, many times a day. Free, open source, my gift to the community. Mac only.

I'm a shortcut-loving WoW freak. I like small tools that get out of the way.

Zoomies is one I made for working with AI coding agents. My right hand is hurt, so less touchpad use is a bonus.

Screenshot first: capture the issue, name it, write the fix directly on the image if I already know it. Then carry on without switching to the agent yet.

If it moves, record a quick video. Same shortcut to start and stop. If it's an idea, drop it in a note on the desktop.

The goal is modest: five seconds saved here, 2% less frustration there. Multiply that by how often you do these little things.

Astra one-shotted the video recording and fixed font and element scaling across window sizes. I'd struggled with those before. It got through them in seconds.

Astra implemented the video recording in one shot and fixed font and UI element scaling across different window sizes. I'd struggled to get those issues resolved in earlier attempts. Astra got through them in seconds. That made it practical to include quick video alongside screenshots and notes, and made the interface behave properly at different sizes.
