- Shows exactly what photos are stored locally versus in iCloud before exporting
- Exports as plain folders with XMP metadata that any app can use, not locked into Photos
- Completely private and offline with no account, no upload, no AI
| - Keyboard-first workflow that never breaks focus—capture without leaving the app you're working in
- Complete privacy and ownership—all data stays local on your Mac with no account or cloud lock-in
- One-time $9.99 purchase with no subscription
- Lightweight and intentional—not a full notes app, clipboard manager, or task list but borrows the best of each
- Source-aware captures that preserve context from any app
