Switchover Snip
Snipping Tool habits, kept
Only for Mac
Free
Mac
Control+Option+Shift+S, drag, done. Snip a region, a window or the screen, mark it up, pin it on top, or copy the text out of it. Your Snipping Tool reflex, kept.
Reaching for Win+Shift+S out of habit? Switchover Snip is the Snipping Tool you're used to, rebuilt for the Mac.
CAPTURE ANYTHING
Snip a region, a single window, or the whole screen. The capture opens straight into an editor, ready to mark up.
MARK IT UP
Arrows, rectangles, freehand pen, highlighter, text labels and a pixelate tool for blurring out anything private — everything you'd expect from a proper annotation editor.
PIN IT TO THE SCREEN
Turn any capture into a small floating window that stays on top, so you can keep a reference visible while you work in another app.
COPY THE TEXT, NOT JUST THE PICTURE
"Copy Text" reads the words in your capture with on-device text recognition and puts them straight on the clipboard — no picture, just the text.
Every capture can be saved, copied or dragged straight into another app.
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Switchover Snip has no network access and collects nothing. Captures stay on your Mac unless you choose to save or share them, and text recognition happens entirely on-device.
