A macOS menu bar app that automatically resizes and compresses screenshots so AI tools process them with fewer tokens and lower cost.
Requires macOS 14 Sonoma or later
The Problem
Every time you paste a screenshot into Claude, ChatGPT, or Gemini, you're sending far more pixels than the model needs. That means slower responses and higher costs. SightAgent fixes this automatically.
SightAgent watches your clipboard. The moment you take a screenshot, it resizes and compresses the image to the optimal dimensions for your chosen AI provider. The optimized version replaces the original on your clipboard, ready to paste.
Each AI model has a sweet spot for image dimensions that balances quality and token efficiency. SightAgent knows these limits and targets them automatically, so you always send the right-sized image.
Drop a video file and SightAgent extracts distinct frames using scene-change detection. No more scrubbing through recordings to find the right moment to screenshot. Each extracted frame is optimized and ready to paste.
See how much you've saved in file size and estimated tokens. Browse your clipboard history, review past optimizations, and export data. All from a clean, native macOS dashboard.
How It Works
SightAgent runs quietly in your menu bar. You never change your workflow.
Use Cmd+Shift+4, Cmd+Shift+5, or any screenshot tool. SightAgent detects the new image on your clipboard automatically.
The image is resized to your provider's optimal dimensions and compressed with oxipng. This takes a fraction of a second.
The optimized image is already on your clipboard. Paste it into Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, or anywhere else. Fewer tokens, same clarity.
Provider Presets
Each provider processes images differently. SightAgent targets the dimensions that maximize quality per token.
