VISUAL MEMORY
Don't just capture it. Remember it.
Everything you capture becomes memory.
Screenshots, GIFs, copied images and text — kept together, searchable and ready to use again.
Find what you saw, not where you saved it.
Capture→Remember→Find→Reuse
Your visual memory, finally searchable.
Snapling keeps the screenshots, GIFs, copied images and text that would normally disappear — and turns them into reusable visual memory.

The Power User Upgrade
You've outgrown "good enough" screenshots.
It's time for a screenshot workspace that works as fast as your mind — instant hotkeys, precise annotations, on-device OCR, and pin-to-top floating windows.
Native
Built for macOS
Designed for Apple silicon and Intel-based Macs.
Local
Your captures stay close
Screenshots, OCR text, and visual history stay on your Mac by default.
10+
Pro Tools in One App
Capture, OCR, Translate, Pin, Record, Palette & History.
THE ALL-IN-ONE VISUAL SUITE
After the capture is where Snapling really gets to work.
A screenshot shouldn't lose its value the second it lands on your desktop.
Snapling connects capture, understanding, expression, staging and long-term organization into one continuous visual workflow — capture what's on screen, pull the information out, keep it in view when you need it, shape it into clearer communication, and find and reuse it days or months later.

01 · Capture
Not just a screenshot — capture the context you actually need
Regions, windows, scrolling pages and moving interactions are captured in seconds. Straight after the capture you annotate, copy, save or keep processing — without producing a file first and opening another tool.
- Region & window capture
- Scrolling screenshots
- GIF capture
- Instant annotation after capture
- Quick copy & export
From seeing it to keeping it — in as few steps as possible.

Languages
Built for multilingual screen work.
Snapling already presents the website in nine languages, so people can evaluate the Mac capture workflow in the language closest to their work — and beyond the interface, Snapling also translates the content inside your captures.
BUILT FOR REAL WORKFLOWS
The same capture, tuned for how you work.
Bug reports, design reviews, tutorials and research all start with a capture — what happens next is where Snapling earns its keep.
Design Review & GIF Demos
Pin the latest mock above your canvas while you build, and record micro-interactions as GIFs.
Drag & Drop Clipboard History
Images and text you copied stay one gesture away — no re-saving, no Downloads-folder archaeology.
Research OCR & Local Translation
Snip foreign-language material, read it in your language, and keep the evidence.
Use it for free first, support it if it becomes part of your work.
Snapling is a local-first Mac screenshot tool. Screenshots, scrolling captures, GIF recording, OCR, and translation should feel quiet, handy, and burden-free.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
The most common questions users ask before downloading. Answers stay short, natural, and clear enough for search and answer engines.
What is Snapling?
Snapling is a snipping tool for Mac that brings screenshots, scrolling captures, GIF recording, OCR, clipboard capture, screenshot history, and Visual Memory into one local-first workflow.
Is Snapling a local-first snipping tool for Mac?
Yes. Snapling is local-first and does not require an account. Captures, OCR text, clipboard content, and visual history are designed to stay close to your Mac unless you choose to export or share them.
Does the OCR run locally on my Mac?
Yes. Text recognition and translation run on your Mac, so screenshots and the text inside them don't need to be uploaded before you work with them.
Is Snapling free to use?
Yes. The Free plan includes the core capture toolkit, OCR, translation, background canvas, and up to 50 Visual Memory items. Pro is a $29 one-time purchase, and Founding Edition is $69.
Can Snapling search screenshots by text on Mac?
Yes. Snapling uses OCR so text inside Mac screenshots can be copied, searched, translated, and reused later instead of staying locked inside image files.
How is Snapling different from a basic Mac screenshot app?
Basic screenshot apps usually stop after capture or sharing. Snapling connects screenshots with OCR, GIFs, clipboard content, tags, favorites, export, and a searchable Visual Memory Library.
Does Snapling support scrolling screenshots and GIFs?
Yes. Snapling covers scrolling screenshots and short GIF recording inside the same tool, so still images and motion explainers can stay in the same capture workflow.
Who should use Snapling?
Snapling is useful for product teams, support, research, documentation, tutorials, and anyone who needs screenshots to become searchable, reusable context rather than loose files on the desktop.
Turn every capture into searchable Visual Memory.
Capture screenshots, scrolling pages, GIFs, and clipboard context—then search, translate, and reuse them whenever the work comes back.
