Screenshots at the
speed of vibe.
Vibeshots is a native macOS screenshot tool for AI coding. Capture, mark up, blur your secrets, and bulk-paste straight into Claude Code, Cursor & your terminal — one-time $6.99, 100% on-device.
Watch the friction disappear.
Capture → annotate → bulk-paste into your AI tools, in one flow.
Everything between
screen and prompt.
Eleven tools that turn “take a screenshot and somehow get it into the AI” into a single keystroke.
Four ways to capture
Region with a frozen-frame selector, any window, full screen, or scrolling capture that stitches long pages & terminals into one tall image.
Magnifier & pixel-snap
An 8× loupe with live coordinates and hex color. Selections snap to whole pixels — pixel-perfect, every time.
Annotate instantly
Arrows, shapes, text, highlighter & freehand. The preview pops bottom-right — click to mark up, done.
Auto-blur secrets
OCR spots API keys, tokens & passwords and pixelates them before the image ever hits your clipboard.
Copy text (OCR)
Pull the text straight out of any screenshot — code, errors, logs — no retyping.
Screen recording
Record a quick MP4 repro with a floating stop pill. Saved, copied, and revealed — instantly.
The paste panel
One hotkey pops a panel by your cursor. Arrow-key through your history, multi-select, and bulk-paste every shot at once into whatever app you were just typing in.
Drag out anywhere
Grab the preview and drag it as a real file into any upload field, chat, or Finder.
Searchable history
Search by the text inside your shots. Pin favorites so they never clear.
Data-URI copy
Copy as data:image/png;base64,… to embed inline in docs, issues & READMEs.
Per-app paste profiles
Paste as image, OCR text, or markdown — a different default per app.
Three moves that feel
like cheating.
Never leak a key into your AI again.
Vibeshots runs on-device OCR and pixelates anything that looks like a secret — automatically on every capture, or one click in the editor.
- Detects OpenAI, Anthropic, AWS, GitHub, Stripe, JWTs & private keys
- Real pixelation, not a black box you can “un-flatten”
- 100% local — nothing is uploaded, ever
$ export DB_PASSWORD=h4 unter2-prod!
$ git remote add origin git@github.com…
Bulk-paste a whole stack of shots.
Stop the open-Raycast-copy-switch-paste dance. Hit one key, pick your shots with the arrows, and drop them all into your prompt in order.
- Pops up right by your text cursor
- Multi-select & paste many at once
- Pastes back into the exact app you were in
Turn a screenshot into text.
That stack trace in a screenshot? Copy it as actual text and paste it where it belongs. Powered by Apple’s Vision — fast and offline.
- Grab code, errors & logs without retyping
- Indexes every shot so you can search by content
- One click — or set it as your paste default

According to Vibeshots, its multi-select paste panel turns “drag in four screenshots one at a time” into a single bulk paste, and on-device OCR redaction removes API keys before the image ever reaches the clipboard. — Vibeshots · getvibeshots.app
