We vibe coded an entire macOS app from scratch and honestly, it was a blast
Meet Snip: an AI-powered screenshot tool that actually remembers your screenshots for you.
You know the pain. You screenshot something important, it lands in your folder as "Screenshot 2025-03-14 at 3.42.17 PM.png", and it's gone forever. We said enough.
Snip is a free, open-source macOS screenshot tool with on-device AI. Capture any region with Cmd+Shift+2. Annotate with arrows, text, blur, and AI object segmentation. A local vision model auto-names, tags, and categorizes every saved screenshot. Find anything later by describing it — semantic search powered by local embeddings finds the right screenshot instantly. Segment objects and animate them into GIFs. No cloud, no API keys. 100% private, runs entirely on your Mac.
