What you get

Everything Snapix adds

Four things the built-in tool can’t do — on the same shortcut you already use.

Snapix clipboard animation: a crosshair captures a revenue chart out of a dashboard window, a notification confirms the screenshot is on the clipboard, and the cursor pastes that same chart straight into a new message
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.

Snapix annotation editor, dark interface: an Account Settings screenshot marked up with a red highlight around the Save Changes button, a red 'Don't forget to save!' callout, and a curved red arrow pointing from the callout to the button
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.

Snapix Extract Text animation: a crosshair selects text in a document, a notification confirms the text has been copied to the clipboard, and the cursor pastes it into a Notes window
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.

Snapix capture history animation: a dark strip slides up from the bottom of the screen showing recent capture thumbnails with timestamps, an All and Saved filter, and the cursor scrolling to older captures
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.
