First post ever on hacker news. Spent months building an extremely fast <1 second response AI overlay. I made it invisible to all screen capture and recordings (besides apple's ctrl + cmd + 5). You can screenshot it on macOS and it errors out and wont show in any screenshots or recordings.

In short this is what it does. Hotkey, drag a region on your screen, AI reads it (OCR or vision since it decides based on heuristics), answer appears in an overlay without copy-paste, no tab switching, works on any app.

Phantom Mode. This is the invisibility cloak. Your screen looks normal to you, but recordings/captures show nothing

Crazy part is I got last place in product hunt at #252 and 0 upvotes on launch. Revenge is around the corner. Is LowLighter deserving of more recognition?
