ShowMe

Open-source, macOS-native AI-powered screen guidance tool.

Press a hotkey, ask a question, and ShowMe captures your screen, sends it to an AI vision model, and renders visual overlays (highlights, arrows, step callouts) directly on your screen — showing you exactly where to click and what to do.

Overview

• Global hotkey (Cmd+Shift+H) activates a minimal floating input bar
• Screen capture grabs what's on your display
• Privacy-first consent — 5-second preview before anything leaves your device
• AI vision analysis via OpenRouter (Claude, GPT-4o, and more)
• Visual overlays drawn on a transparent click-through window

Tech Stack

• Tauri v2 — lightweight native shell (Rust backend + WebView frontend)
• React 19 + TypeScript — frontend UI
• Vite — fast build tooling
• OpenRouter — AI model routing
