Show HN: macOS app to give Cursor (and others) more context and tools

2 kalynyak 1 8/15/2025, 6:25:03 PM bolide.ai ↗
After finishing my app's first version, I started working on marketing/promotion/sales and realized: AI coders are amazing with code, but terrible with content.

I needed to create screencasts, write docs, handle customer calls - but my AI editor could only help with the coding parts, not the content creation and promotion work that comes after.

So I built a macOS companion that lets AI coders work with content, not just code:

Records screencasts and calls with auto-transcription Captures voice notes and screenshots Connects to 100+ tools (Linear, Slack, Notion) without API setup Everything flows into your AI editor as rich context Example: Record a product demo → tell AI "create marketing copy from this" → done.

Open source + cloud versions planned. Currently looking for interested users to get feedback and do customer development.

Happy to answer any questions!

The main insight was that once you ship version one, you realize you need to create tons of content - product demos, app store screenshots, tutorials, documentation, landing, blog posts etc.

(And yes, I used Bolide to prepare content I posted here :)
