About Mean

Mean is a tool for visual handoffs between people and agents. It can capture the screen as a static snapshot for annotation, or record content over time and replay the timeline. It supports use from the terminal or any MCP client, allowing agents to annotate, record, read, and compare screens. It is suitable for design and motion reviews, bug reports and QA, product demos, and other communication that needs to point directly to the screen. Mean requires macOS 15 or later and is available to download and use for free as a DMG from the website.
