Hold right ⌥
Talk and point
Say “this button looks too pale” while you point at it. On the word “this” the pin drops exactly where your pointer was at that moment. A sentence with two pointing words becomes two points.
Menu bar app for macOS 26
Hold ⌥, talk and point at it.
Deixis turns what you say and point at into numbered points with a picture and context. Collected in a round, sent with one key to your agent, your team chat or a folder.

- HoldHold the right ⌥ key. A warm light along the screen edge shows that Deixis is listening.
- Talk and point“This button is too small. The gap here is too big.” On “this” and on “here” a numbered pin drops at the pointer.
- Let goA stroke cuts the sentence. Both halves fly to their pins as points.
- SendThe round with two points flies to Claude Code. The session reports back: point 2 done.
Three ways to a point
Talk, click or point quietly.
Your voice is an option, not a requirement. Every way ends the same: a numbered point with a picture, a place and context, collected in your round.
⌃⌥P
Annotate
A crosshair like ⌘⇧4. Click anywhere: a pin drops and a card with a caret opens next to it. Type, talk or both. The next click starts the next point.
Without voice
Point and type
Hold ⌥ and let the pointer rest for a moment. A ring fills, then a pin drops. After you let go, you type one line per pin and Tab moves on. No microphone or speech recognition needed.
Rounds
Collect across every window. Send once.
Points from Safari, the Simulator and any other app land in the same round. One press of ↩ sends it. Every destination gets the easiest way that really exists, and Deixis tells you beforehand what will happen.
Agents automatic over MCP
The session in the right project picks up the round with its images and reports back what is done.

Context
What you don’t have to say, Deixis adds.
With the extension for Safari or Chrome every point knows the element, the address and the console errors. In any other app Deixis reads the text under the pin and the window title.
- Browser element
- Selector, text and size of the element under the pin.
- Address
- The page URL, also read from the address bar.
- Console errors
- Errors of the page at the moment of capture.
- Window title
- App and window, so every point knows where it was.
