Introduction

I kept running into the same problem in AI‑assisted dev workflows: bug reporting was still manual and slow.
You find an issue, then switch to writing mode — describe context, take screenshots, organize everything, and rewrite it for your coding agent.

So I built markupR. It takes screen + voice and turns it into structured markdown with inline screenshots that AI tools can use directly.

Workflow

  1. Record your screen while narrating what’s wrong
  2. Transcription + timestamp analysis
  3. Frame extraction at relevant moments
  4. Output: AI‑ready markdown report

Why I’m building it this way

  • Open source (MIT)
  • Free forever core workflow
  • BYOK if you want cloud models
  • Local options if you don’t

I’m not trying to build lock‑in here — I want a tool people actually use and improve over time.

Feedback

If you try it, I’d love feedback on:

  • Where your current bug‑report handoff breaks
  • Whether this output format is useful in real projects
  • What would make this production‑worthy for teams

Repository & Demo

GitHub – markupR

(If useful, I can also share architecture details and implementation notes.)
