Magpie

Collect what you did. Sort it out later.

A tiny system-tray app that captures screenshots, voice notes and text while you work. Tag by project. Friday: export and paste into your timesheet.

~2MB, no install, no account, just run it.

How it works

1

Press one key, anywhere

Hit Ctrl+Alt+C while you are working — in Autodesk, your browser, a CAD program, a spreadsheet, anything. Magpie captures a screenshot of the active window and logs the window title and timestamp. You never leave what you are doing.

2

Say it or type it

Need to add context? Record a voice note — it gets transcribed locally with Whisper, nothing leaves your machine. Or type a quick note in the pinned browser tab. Tag it with a project name and keep going.

Friday: export and paste

Click "Export week" and you get a formatted summary grouped by project — timestamps, notes, everything. Paste it straight into your timesheet, your project tracker, or an email to your manager. Done.
