Hey Product Hunt community!
I built Text Snap Desktop because I was frustrated that Windows lacked a fast, native tool to search for text trapped inside screenshots, code snippets, receipts, and downloaded diagrams.
Most existing OCR tools require manual snipping every single time, or send your sensitive images to third-party cloud servers with recurring monthly subscriptions.
Text Snap runs 100% locally on your PC using native Windows hardware OCR and an encrypted SQLite FTS5 database. It indexes your screenshot folders in the background (<2% CPU) and allows you to instantly search across thousands of images in under 50ms using Alt+Space.
Key Superpowers built into Text Snap:
1. Spacebar QuickLook: Instant high-res lightbox with interactive word bounding boxes and click-to-copy.
2. Table to CSV / Excel: Reconstructs rows and columns from table screenshots in 1-click.
3. Clean Code Formatter: Strips gutter line numbers and fixes indentation automatically.
4. Pin to Screen (Alt+P): CleanShot-style borderless floating reference HUD with mousewheel opacity control.
5. Privacy Redaction Shield: Blackout passwords, API tokens, or client data before sharing.
6. 100% Offline & Private: Zero telemetry, zero cloud calls, air-gapped security.
No subscriptions. Pay once, own forever on up to 3 PCs.
