Snapline is a menu bar screenshot application covering capture, annotation, recording, and history management in a single native tool. All processing occurs locally without cloud storage or account requirements.
Capture modes include region selection, window capture, and full-screen. Scrolling capture automatically stitches content that extends beyond the visible screen area. Screen recording exports to H.264 MP4 format, with GIF export available from recordings.
The annotation toolkit covers pen drawing, geometric shapes, text labels, and redaction for obscuring sensitive content. On-device OCR extracts text from screenshots, and the OCR index is searchable across the full capture history. A floating capture reference option keeps a screenshot pinned on screen while working in other applications.
