Local-first snipping tool for Mac with scrolling capture, GIF recording, on-device OCR, translation, and searchable Visual Memory.
About Snapling
Snapling is a local-first Mac screenshot workspace that turns isolated captures into a searchable visual memory. Press ⌘⇧4 to capture any region instantly, then annotate, copy, or export without producing a file first. Record scrolling pages as one continuous image, capture micro-interactions as GIFs, and pull text out of any screenshot with on-device OCR and translation. Everything you capture — screenshots, GIFs, copied images and text — is kept in a searchable, taggable Visual Memory library that stays on your Mac. No account required, no watermark, and a free tier that covers the core workflow.
Key Features
Fast Capture & Annotation

Scrolling Capture & GIF Recording
Capture long scrolling pages as a single continuous image and record short GIF demos inside the same tool.
On-Device OCR & Translation
Text recognition and translation run locally on your Mac — copy, search, and translate text inside screenshots without any upload.
Searchable Visual Memory
Screenshots, GIFs, and copied content stay in a searchable library with OCR text search, tags, pins, smart collections, and Obsidian export.
