YapSketch — Show Your Agent What You Mean

A developer built YapSketch, a free, open-source tool that lets users speak and draw on their screens simultaneously via a hotkey, then paste the combined voice and annotated screenshots into coding agents like Claude Code, Codex, or Cursor. Speech is transcribed locally, and an optional integration with Jev matches spoken intent to drawn content to select the best frame for each point. The developer says it replaced Wisprflow and reduced back-and-forth with agents.

Hey guys!

I made YapSketch to make it easier for me to communicate my feedback and ideas to coding agents.

I used to dictate in one app, take a screenshot, open another app to draw on it, then try to explain it all in the prompt. Now I hit a hotkey, talk, and draw on my screen. When I stop, I paste it into Claude Code (or Codex, Cursor, whatever) and the agent gets what I said plus a picture of each thing I pointed at.

It fully replaced Wisprflow for me, and it cut down the back and forth a lot. I can jam a ton of feedback into a single recording, and the agent gets all of it in one go.

It's 100% free and open source, and speech is transcribed locally on your machine.

If you're familiar with Jev, you can connect it in settings (sign in with Opper, Openrouter, or add your TypeSafe key) and it gets a lot smarter by matching what you said and your intent to what you drew and picks the best frame for each point. It works just fine without it too.

Star the repo if you like the app and I hope that you enjoy using it!
