FloatSnap

Mac menu-bar app that pins screenshots on top of every window

About FloatSnap

FloatSnap is a tiny macOS menu bar app built around one job: capture any region of the screen and pin it as a floating window above everything else, so reference material stays visible while you type into another app. Captures can be annotated and OCR'd from the right-click menu, then dismissed with one click; nothing is stored, everything stays on the Mac, and there is no account, telemetry, or cloud. One license covers up to five Macs with all updates included.
