# Loupe
**Target elements, not screenshots.**
Loupe is a macOS accessibility inspector that generates AI-agent-ready output. I built this for myself to speed up Mac app development with Claude Code. Hopefully you find it useful too.
https://smughead.github.io/Loupe/
## What it does
- Inspect any UI element in any Mac app
- Annotate what you want changed
- Copy structured, agent-readable output
- Paste into Claude Code, Cursor, Codex — and watch them build
## How it works
**Hover** — Point at any element in any app and see accessibility info in real-time.
**Annotate** — Click an element, describe the change you want in plain English.
**Copy** — Hit the copy button to get structured output with element roles, hierarchy paths, and search patterns.
**Build** — Paste into your AI assistant. It knows exactly which element to target — no screenshots, no guessing.
## Install
**Download the latest release:**
[Download Loupe](https://github.com/smughead/Loupe/releases/latest) (.dmg)
**Or build from source:**
```bash
git clone https://github.com/smughead/Loupe.git
cd Loupe
open Loupe.xcworkspace
```
Build and run with Xcode (Cmd+R).
## Requirements
- macOS 14.0+ (Sonoma)
- Accessibility permissions — Loupe will prompt on first launch
## Inspired by
[agentation.dev](https://agentation.dev) — same concept for the web. Loupe does it for macOS.
