Native macOS screenshot tools

Capture.
Explain.

Fast local capture, precise annotation, manual scrolling screenshots, OCR, and pinned references—for you and the agent working beside you.

One capture, clear next steps

Show what matters.

Everything stays focused on the image: capture, mark, extract text, or keep a reference floating above your work.

Blue annotations over a screenshot

Annotate in place

Arrows, callouts, steps, cover, highlight, crop, and more—without a round trip to another editor.

Long screenshot with side preview

Scroll with control

You scroll; Framecap samples and joins verified overlap while a side preview shows the accumulated result.

Local text recognition result

Recognize text locally

Use macOS Vision from the editor. OCR is currently a GUI feature, not an Agent API.

Pin a reference

Keep an image above other windows while you work, then close the exact pin through the App or local API.

For local agents

Copy a prompt. Let your agent set it up.

CLI first, MCP when supported. The first macOS Screen Recording approval remains yours.

Open agent setup
Install and configure Framecap on this Mac using https://framecap.dev/agents/install.md. Preserve existing configuration, verify offline annotation first, and ask me before Screen Recording permission is needed.
