Built for how you work

Instant capture

One hotkey to select, crop, and capture any region of your screen. Saved to clipboard and file simultaneously.

Annotate

Arrows, boxes, text, highlights, and blur. Mark up your screenshots before sharing, without opening another app.

OCR built in

Text is extracted automatically in the background using Apple Vision. Every screenshot becomes searchable text.

Pin to screen

Float any capture as an always-on-top overlay. Reference code, designs, or notes while you work in other apps.

Searchable history

Find any past screenshot by title, tag, or OCR text. Your capture library, always at hand from the menu bar.

Private by default

Everything stays on your Mac. No cloud, no accounts, no telemetry. OCR runs locally via Apple’s Vision framework.

Three keystrokes. That's it.

Press your hotkey. Select a region. Done.
