Hey Product Hunt community! 👋
Whenever I'm coding, researching, or designing, standard screenshot tools dump images into a messy desktop folder that I have to find and open in another app.
I built SilkySnip to turn screenshots into actionable, floating overlays:
• Floating Pinned Overlays: Pin captures right on top of your workspace so you never lose your visual reference while switching tabs.
• On-Device Local OCR: Extract non-selectable text, code, or receipts from any part of your screen instantly without cloud lag or privacy risks.
• Fast Annotation & Redaction: Draw, highlight, or blur sensitive data in one click before sharing.
• Offline & Fast: Lightweight native desktop performance on both macOS and Windows.
• One-time payment: No forced monthly subscriptions for a desktop utility.
Would love to hear your feedback on the overlay UX and shortcut flows!
