Snapix features

Everything Snapix does.
At a glance.

Capture, mark up, pin, copy the text and find it again. Every piece of Snapix, with the key that opens it.

Download for Mac See every shortcut

Six ways to capture.
One press each.

Snapix answers to ⌘⇧3, ⌘⇧4 and ⌘⇧5 — the shortcuts your fingers already know — and every one of them is yours to change.

  • Capture Area

    ⌘⇧4

    Drag across anything with a pixel-precise crosshair. Tap Space to switch to the window picker.

  • Capture Full Screen

    ⌘⇧3

    Every pixel on the display, in one press.

  • Capture Window

    ⌘⇧5

    Click a window. Rounded corners and shadow included — on your wallpaper, a color or transparent.

  • Self-Timer

    ⌘⇧8

    A 2, 3, 5 or 10‑second countdown to open that menu or hover that tooltip.

  • Extract Text

    ⌘⇧2

    Drag over words. Get text, not a picture.

  • Pick Color

    ⌃⌥C

    A loupe over any pixel. The hex lands on your clipboard.

  • Capture Last Area

    ⌘⇧6

    The same region again. Perfect for before‑and‑after.

Also:
  • optionally freeze the screen while you select
  • an open menu survives the shot
  • select across displays
  • ⌘⇧5 works in Mission Control and App Exposé
  • Snapix hands ⌘⇧3/4/5 back to macOS the moment you change them.

The editor

Every tool is one key.

Annotate with a single letter per tool: A for an arrow, B to blur, K to crop. ⌃⌘Space, the Mac’s emoji shortcut, drops a sticker — your hands never leave the keyboard.

The Snapix editor with a weekend-in-Venice work trip plan marked up: an arrow to the meeting point on the photo, labelled “Meet here · 7 pm”, the Saturday-evening client meeting circled, and the next two stops numbered 1 and 2.

  • Arrows that bend

    Chevron, Dart, Classic or Sticker. Snapix remembers your favorite.

  • Steps and callouts

    Numbered steps count themselves. Text bubbles point right at the thing.

  • A highlighter that snaps

    Clean bands on lines of text. Spotlight dims everything else.

  • Redact before you share

    Blur or Pixelate with a strength slider, or a solid Black box.

  • Emoji and Measure

    1,870 emoji as stickers. Distances in pixels or points.

  • Backgrounds, in Retina

    14 mesh gradients, padding and shadow. Exports at full Retina resolution.

It’s already copied. The rest is one key.

Every capture lands on your clipboard and in a floating preview. Hover it and press a key — or drag it straight into any app.

  • Hover a preview

    It stays 5 to 30 seconds — or until you close it — and waits while you hover.

    • ⌘C Copy
    • ⌘S Save
    • ⌘E Edit
    • ⌘P Pin

  • Pin it on top

    ⌘P

    A capture that floats above every window while you work. Move it, resize it.

  • Bring it back

    Closed a preview too soon? Control Option Z reopens your last capture, just as you left it.

Hold Space for a full-size peek · one click copies a QR code’s link · right-click to Rotate, Quick Look, Show in Finder or Open With · previews and pins stay out of your screen shares.

⌘⇧2

Extract Text: Text,
not a picture.

Drag over a paused video, a PDF that won’t let you select, an error message. The words land on your clipboard as text.

  • OCR runs on your Mac, with Apple’s Vision framework. It detects the language for you.
  • In the editor, select text right on the image, Live Text‑style.
  • ⌘F finds any word inside a screenshot. ⌘G jumps to the next.
Extract Text at work: a scanned adoption flyer for Biscuit is open in Preview. Its three lines — “Loves tennis balls and long walks. House-trained. Great with kids. Vaccinated and microchipped.” — are copied with Command Shift 2, a “Text copied” banner confirms it, and the same lines are pasted into a note as ordinary text.
⌘⇧S

Recent Captures: Right where
you left it.

Your capture history slides up, newest first. Search reads the words inside every capture — type “budget” and the spreadsheet, the Slack thread and the slide light up.

Recent Captures, searching “budget”: of the last captures, three have the word in them — a Slack message asking whether the Q4 budget is final, the Q4 marketing budget spreadsheet in Excel and a PowerPoint slide — each marked where the word appears, with a count of its matches.

  • Forgives typos

    “chorme” finds Chrome, and accents don’t matter.

  • Lists that keep

    Drag a capture onto a colored pill to file it for good.

  • Your call

    Keep the last 25, 50, 100 or 200 captures — or none.

Every shortcut, in one menu — and every one is yours to change. No Accessibility permission needed.

The Snapix menu lists every shortcut:

  • Capture Area, Command Shift 4
  • Capture Full Screen, Command Shift 3
  • Capture Window, Command Shift 5
  • Capture with Self-Timer, Command Shift 8
  • Extract Text, Command Shift 2
  • Pick Color, Control Option C
  • Capture Last Area, Command Shift 6
  • Reopen Closed Capture, Control Option Z
  • Recent Captures, Command Shift S
  • Settings, Command Comma
  • Quit Snapix, Command Q

  • Save your way

    PNG, JPEG, HEIC or TIFF — or Auto. Your own file names, Retina downscaling, auto‑save to a folder.

  • Sounds you choose

    The Mac’s screenshot sound or a softer Pop, Glass or Tink when it’s copied or saved — or silence. At the volume you like.

  • Settings search

    ⌘F finds any setting and lights it up.

  • Always ready

    Launches at login and stays out of your Dock until you open a window.

Private by design. Capture, annotation and text recognition run on your Mac, and your capture history is kept there encrypted.

For everyone who has to
explain things.

  • Developers, filing the bug

  • Support, walking someone through

  • Teams, reviewing the work

  • Freelancers, sending the update
