More automation- and agent-friendly

I’ve been using Screen Studio with AI/browser automation on macOS, and I’d love to request a more automation-friendly interface.

I already built working prototypes around Screen Studio:

So this request comes from real usage, not just theory.

Screen Studio already has very useful deeplinks like:

  • screen-studio://record-window

  • screen-studio://record-display

  • screen-studio://finish-recording

That helps a lot, but today automation is still fragile because agents must still:

  • detect the right window/display

  • move the mouse to the target

  • press Enter to confirm

  • recover manually if selection goes wrong

  • manually name/save at the end

The most helpful improvements would be:

  1. Allow explicit target selection for window/display recording

    Example ideas:

    • screen-studio://record-window?bundleId=com.google.Chrome

    • screen-studio://record-window?windowTitle=My App

    • screen-studio://record-display?id=built-in

  2. Provide a true “start recording now” action once the target is specified in the deeplinks

  3. Expose recording state, so automation can tell whether Screen Studio is idle, selecting, or recording

  4. Allow finish/save to be automated, including filename/output mode

  5. Document the supported deeplinks and parameters, or provide a small CLI/API

Thank you!
