How it works

One flow, from screen to anywhere.

Demo: capture part of a page, annotate it, copy it and paste it into an issue.

Features

Everything between copy and paste.

Built to feel like part of macOS, not another window to manage.

Clipboard history

Every clip, one shortcut away.

Text, links, code and original images, ready to reuse. Filter by type, search, favorite and paste as plain text.

OCR & translation

Select text. Copy or translate it.

Press ⌃⌥T to copy or ⌃⌥Y to translate. No screenshot needs to be saved first.

Scrolling capture

Long pages, one image.

Capture long conversations and wide tables, vertically or horizontally.

Pin to screen

Keep a reference in view.

Float any image above your windows while you work.

Original images for AI

Share selected originals with local AI clients.

Pass an image reference to an authorized client. No need to grant access to your full history.

Rich previews

See it before you paste.

Markdown, highlighted code, rich text, links and full-size images.

Image hosting

Upload to your host. Use the link anywhere.

Window capture

Menus and popovers, too.

Window capture includes dropdown menus, popovers and floating panels, even as they close.

Nine languages

Speaks your language.

The app and this site are available in nine languages.

Keyboard first

Your hands never leave the keys.

Every action has a shortcut, and every shortcut can be changed in Settings.

Privacy

Stored locally. Shared when you choose.

History and projects stay on your Mac. Images go to your configured host only when you upload them, and recognized text goes to your chosen translation service only when you translate.

  • Pause capture and exclude apps
  • Set retention and storage limits
  • Authorize and revoke AI access independently
