TextGrab: Instant, Privacy-Focused Screen-to-Text for macOS
by•
I built TextGrab because extracting a small piece of text from your screen shouldn't require taking a screenshot, uploading it to a website, or manually typing it out.
The idea is simple: press a shortcut, select anything on your screen, and get editable text in seconds.
I wanted the experience to feel like a native macOS utility while keeping the core OCR workflow completely local.
TextGrab is open source, so I'm particularly interested in feedback from macOS users and developers:
What would you want from a fast, privacy-focused screen-to-text tool?
