Hi PH community! 👋

Most screenshot and OCR tools either force your images onto a cloud server or instantly clutter your screen with popups and toolbar icons. We built HushSnap to fix this — a lightweight, 100% offline desktop companion.

What makes HushSnap useful:

  1. Focus on Readability: Instead of mashing text into an unreadable chunk, it aims to keep basic line breaks and spacing intact for better output clarity.

  2. Privacy First: Fully local. No accounts, no servers, zero telemetry.

  3. Non-Intrusive Workflow: A small thumbnail slides into the screen corner (just like on your phone). One click to copy text, right-click to pin, or drag & drop directly into your browser/chat.

🇯🇵 日本のユーザーの皆様へ HushSnapは日本語の「縦書きテキスト」のOCR識別や、読みやすさを意識したレイアウト整列に対応しています。完全ローカル・オフラインで動作し、プライバシーも安心です。ぜひお試しいただき、フィードバックをお待ちしております！

It's completely free and open-source under GPL-3.0. Would love to hear your thoughts and feedback! ❤️
