What is Remarc?

Remarc is a free, open-source Mac menu bar app that acts as a feedback layer between you and your AI coding agent. You can comment on selected text, annotated screenshots, web elements (with a companion Chrome extension) or by voice, and group comments into sessions. Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and other agents read the comments with their context over MCP, work through them and mark them resolved. Everything stays on your Mac, with no accounts or telemetry. It needs macOS 14 or later, and voice features need macOS 26.

Pros: what Remarc does well

  • Gives agents exact context instead of long prompts
  • Text, screenshot, web element and voice comments
  • Free and open source (MIT), no accounts or telemetry

Cons: where it falls short

  • Mac only
  • Most useful if you already work with AI coding agents
