CaptureFree

## Screenshots your agent can read.

Capture any part of the screen and add a note. Bigshot saves it in your Project with the source app and the text recognised in the image, and adds a skill so your agent knows where to look. Ask about your last screenshot and the agent opens it.

Code LensPro

## Read the source of any UI.

Code Lens reads pixels, so it works on a browser, a native app, a simulator, or a terminal. Each label names the component, its file, and the line that renders it. Click a label to open it in your editor.

Inline AgentPro

## Run an agent on what you select.

The agent gets the screenshot and your instruction, and works in your Project while you carry on. It commits on a new branch and never pushes or merges. You review the branch and merge it yourself.

## Before you start

Does anything leave my Mac?

Yes, if you send a capture to a cloud model. Dragging it into an agent, starting an Agent Run, or running a Hook hands it to the agent or API you picked, and Claude Code, the Anthropic API, and the OpenAI API run in the cloud. If your agent uses a local model, for example opencode or Codex set up with Ollama, the capture stays on your Mac. Code Lens, the Code map, text recognition, and the optional image model always run on your Mac. Bigshot itself only contacts bigshot.pics to check your licence and for updates, and Hugging Face when you download the image model.

Which code can Code Lens match?

Code Lens works on anything on your screen. The Code map it matches against reads TypeScript and JavaScript (including JSX and TSX), Markdown and MDX, Swift (SwiftUI and AppKit), Python, and shell scripts. Code Lens matches on text out of the box; an optional on-device image model, a 390 MB download you choose to install, adds matching on icons, images, and charts.

Does Bigshot change my code on its own?

Only when you start an Agent Run. The agent works on a new branch, in a separate worktree by default, and asks you before it does anything that needs permission. Bigshot never pushes or merges; you review the branch and merge it yourself.

Which agents work?

Inline Agent uses Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI, or opencode, signed in with your own account. Hooks support Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, the Anthropic API, and the OpenAI API. You can also copy or drag captures into any app that accepts images.

What is free, and what does Pro add?

Capture, the editor, the island, and the Library are free, including dragging screenshots into your agent. Pro adds Code Lens, Inline Agent, Smart capture, Projects and tags, screenshot context with OCR, and Hooks on up to 2 Macs. It is a one-time purchase of $19 at launch, then $29, with 12 months of updates. Your last covered version keeps working forever.

What do I need?

An Apple silicon Mac on macOS 14 or newer, with Screen Recording permission granted to Bigshot.

## What do you want to fix next?

Select it on screen. Bigshot finds the code, and your agent takes it from there.
