GlassCopy
Copy text from anywhere
Only for Mac
$0.99
Mac
Select text anywhere on your Mac, even inside images, PDFs, videos, mockups, and remote sessions. GlassCopy extracts it locally and copies clean text instantly.
Text is everywhere on your Mac, but it is not always selectable. GlassCopy turns visible text into editable text with one quick shortcut.
Open the selection tool, drag over the text you can see, and GlassCopy uses on-device OCR to copy clean text to your clipboard. It works across screenshots, PDFs, presentations, videos, design mockups, remote desktops, terminal windows, and apps that do not let you select text normally.
GlassCopy is built as a lightweight menu bar utility, so it stays out of your way until you need it. No uploads, no bulky workflow, no extra document to manage. Just select, capture, paste, and keep moving.
Highlights:
- Global shortcut for fast capture
- Local recognition powered by Apple Vision
- Works with images, video frames, PDFs, slides, and remote sessions
- Clean menu bar design
- Customizable shortcut and launch-at-login support
For research, support, development, writing, and everyday Mac work, GlassCopy helps you recover the text in front of you and use it immediately.

A new welcome on first launch helps you get started.
Text recognition now prepares in the background, with progress and cancellation for slower captures.
Clearer error messages and safer clipboard handling make copying more reliable.
