my own product

Three tools in one tray, sold as one idea.

My own Windows capture app and its site — screenshots an AI agent can act on, recordings people will watch. The docs are written with the product itself.

Why I built it

Every round of “which button do you mean?” costs a screenshot, a crop, an arrow and a paragraph explaining where it came from. And when the thing you are handing it to is an AI agent rather than a person, the picture on its own is useless — what the agent needs is the file path and the note attached to it. QACut is the tool I wanted for that: press a hotkey, drag a region, and get back something the other end can actually act on. No account, nothing uploaded, everything a plain file on your own disk until you choose to send it.

The design problem

QACut does three genuinely different jobs — a quick marked-up shot, a whole folder of grouped screenshots and notes for an agent to work from, and a polished screen recording for a person to watch. Three modes is one idea if you frame it right and three half-products if you don’t, and a site that lists them as a feature grid makes the app look unfocused. So the page leads with the one sentence all three share — capture, then hand off — and only splits into the modes underneath it.

The site runs on the app

qacut.com is a VitePress site, and its documentation is written using QACut. I capture a process as a bundle, export the document, and the Markdown lands under the site folder with its images beside it. Every use-case page on the site is a hand-off the product produced. That keeps the docs honest in a way I like: if exporting one is awkward, I feel it before anybody else does.
