All on-device, with zero cloud dependency by default. The most powerful native screen capture utility for macOS power users. SnapKeep is built with privacy as the foundation. No analytics. No telemetry. No tracking. All processing is on-device — OCR, AI, encryption, everything. Metadata stripping ensures zero location, timestamp, or camera data leaks.
We all take dozens of screenshots a day—feedback, receipts, snippets of code, or sensitive data. But usually, they just clutter your desktop or sit unprotected in the cloud.
I built SnapKeep to change that. It’s a powerful, native macOS tool designed for people who want pro-level productivity without sacrificing privacy.
🛠️ Capture & Create
- Intuitive Shortcuts: Capture full screens or custom areas
- Pro Annotator: Arrows, highlights, text, and redaction masks—all built-in. No more opening Preview.
