Screenshots and notes become a bundle an AI agent can work from. Screen recordings become walkthroughs people will actually watch. One tray icon, no account, and nothing leaves your machine unless you send it.

Three flexible use cases
QACut Basic
Quick shots
One hotkey, one region, and the shot opens with the markup tools and a note beside it. Copy the image for a person, or the path and note for an agent.

Bundles for bigger jobs
Structured groups of screenshots and notes. Export a finished document straight from them, or hand the folder to an agent to work from.
- Organize, mark up, notate, export to a doc
- Automated process capture, edit, export
- Send to an agent with prompt and brand kit
- A task list for agents

QACut Studio
Polished screen recordings
The cursor is recorded as data, then drawn back smoothed and enlarged with a ripple on every click. Zooms follow the work. Your camera sits in a bubble, your voice stays in sync. Trim, cut, export to MP4.

How it works
Three modes
Ctrl+Shift+1
Quick shot
One shot, one note, Copy for a person or Copy for agent, paste.
Ctrl+Shift+2
Capture
Group shots and notes into a bundle an agent works from.
Ctrl+Shift+R
Record
Drag a region, hit record, edit in the studio.
QACut Basic
Mark it up. Copy it. Paste it.
The quick shot opens in the editor with arrow, highlight, blur and step tools, and a note beside it. Copy puts the picture on the clipboard with the note printed under it, for a chat, an email or a ticket; Copy for agent puts the path and note as text.
QACut Bundles
Auto-capture a process. Clean it up in one window.
Ctrl+Shift+3 takes a still at the start, at every click and at the end, each ringed where the click landed. The review window then walks them with markup, a note, prev and next, and delete for the ones that are noise.
QACut Bundles
The document writes itself.
Export doc turns groups into sections and notes into numbered steps, with the image under each. One self-contained web page you can send, or Markdown for a docs platform; hand it to an agent only to polish the prose.
QACut Studio
Everything about the video is still editable after you stop.
The cursor, clicks and keys are recorded as data and drawn back in, so zooms, trims, cuts, key badges, the camera bubble, the title and the logo are all controls in the studio. Export writes exactly what you previewed.
Prompt library
Every prompt is a template.
The six built-in clipboard texts can be rewritten and reset, and you can add your own: quick-shot prompts that wrap the shots, and bundle prompts that are the whole instruction, picked by name before a hand-off.
Agent friendly
A bundle is a folder an agent can read
No API, no plugin. Markdown that explains itself, images linked relatively, and a prompt written for the job: fix the issues, polish the process doc, or your own. Every prompt is a template you can edit in the Prompt library, alongside the ones you add yourself. And when you don't need an agent, Export doc writes the document itself.
To a CLI agent
Finish copies the folder path. Copy agent prompt fills it into the instruction.
claude "Work through the QA bundle at C:\Users\nick\QACut\2026-09-17_143022-settings-review. Start with bundle.md: each group is a page or area, its quoted master note applies to every screenshot under it, and each screenshot's note says what is wrong. Open each screenshot, and the key frames of any recording, before changing anything."
To a chat agent
Save ZIP for chat zips the folder, shows it in Explorer ready to drag in, and copies a prompt that says "the attached ZIP".
- Your brand kit rides along, so the output sounds like you.
- Recordings include a still at every click, for agents that can't play video.
- Plain files. Move the folder anywhere and it still works.
