[Two tools in one]

A screenshot tool. And a sticky-note for your screen.

Most screenshot apps capture and forget. FloatSnap captures and keeps. Every snap pins itself on top of every window — like a Post-it on glass — and stays there indefinitely. Until you click it. Then it's gone.

01

The screenshot

⌘⇧9, drag, release. A high-fidelity capture, ready to annotate, OCR, save, or copy.

02

The sticky note

It floats. It stays. It outlives reboots-of-attention, app switches, and full-screen mode. Drag it where it helps.

03

The dismissal

One click. Gone. No folder of forgotten Screenshot 2026-05-02 at 11.42.13.png files filling your desktop.

Use it like Stickies, like Post-its, like a second monitor — except every note is a pixel-accurate screenshot of something you wanted to remember.

[Features]

Everything you need. Nothing you don't.

01

Floating screenshots

Captures stay on top of every window. Drag them anywhere, pin them in place, click to dismiss.

02

Annotation tools

Pencil, circle, square, arrow, highlight. Mark up and screenshot back out — annotations bake into the export.

03

Built-in OCR

Select a region, extract its text via Apple Vision. Straight to your clipboard. Never retype a screenshot again.

04

Your second screen

One laptop, no monitor? Capture what you need, switch apps, keep the screenshot floating. A second monitor without the hardware.

05

Save & copy

Export to PNG or JPEG at full Retina resolution. Or copy to clipboard with all annotations baked in.

06

Zero bloat

No dock icon, no background junk, no telemetry. Lives in your menu bar. ⌘⇧9 and go.
