What makes it different
  • Works reliably with identical monitors that macOS cannot distinguish by standard means
  • Fast and never hangs because it reads the window server directly instead of querying each application
  • Open source code published under Functional Source License with MIT conversion after two years
  • 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
