Clipboard
Every capture is already copied
Take a screenshot and it lands on your clipboard on its own — paste it into Slack, a ticket, or an email without saving a file first. Want one on disk too? Turn on Save to folder.
Every Mac screenshot, straight to your clipboard.
Shoot. Annotate. Paste. The Mac screenshot app with a full editor, blur and pixelate for sensitive data, and one-click text extraction — all processed on your Mac.

What you get 
Everything Snapix adds
Four things the built-in tool can’t do — on the same shortcut you already use.
Annotate
Screenshots that explain themselves
Arrows, shapes, text labels, and auto-numbered steps — plus blur and pixelate for anything sensitive. Everything renders at full Retina resolution.
Extract text ⌘⇧2
Stop retyping what’s already on screen
Drag over any text on your Mac — an error dialog, a PDF, code pasted as an image — and it lands on your clipboard. Runs offline, detects the language on its own.
History ⌃⌥R
That screenshot from 20 minutes ago? Still here.
A strip of your recent captures, newest first. Copy, edit, or pin any of them again — no digging through your Desktop or Downloads.

Frequently asked questions
What exactly is Snapix?
Snapix is a screenshot app for Mac that lives in your menu bar. It replaces the basic built-in screenshot tool with precise capture modes, a full annotation editor, blur/redact tools, on-device text extraction (OCR), pinnable screenshots, and capture history.
How is Snapix different from the built-in macOS screenshot tool?
The built-in tool captures and offers basic markup. Snapix puts every capture straight on your clipboard, then adds a full annotation editor (arrows, shapes, text, numbered steps), blur and pixelate for redacting sensitive data, one-click on-device OCR, pinned floating screenshots, capture history, and customizable global hotkeys — all from your menu bar.
How does the free trial work?
Start the 14-day free trial when you download Snapix — no credit card. You get full access to every feature. When the trial ends, subscribe to keep Snapix Pro for $24/year.
Is Snapix really private?
Yes. Every capture, annotation, and OCR result is processed on your Mac and stays there. Snapix takes one-shot screenshots only — there is no screen recording and no background capture, and the screen recording permission macOS asks for is used solely at the moment you capture. The app connects to our servers only for account sign-in, subscription status, and app updates.
Is Snapix a good CleanShot X alternative?
Yes — Snapix covers the same core workflow: instant capture, a floating preview, a full annotation editor, on-device OCR, and pinned screenshots. The difference is that captures, annotations, and OCR are all processed on your Mac, for $24/year with a 14-day free trial.
