A floating screenshot widget for Windows — one click, saved and copied.
Every screenshot tool is either bloated, buried in menus, or requires three clicks before you get an image. OpenSnap lives on your screen as a translucent glass capsule — click to capture, drag to move. That's it.
|
Full multi-monitor desktop, active window, or drag-select an area. All from the same floating pill. |
Extract text from any screen region using Windows OCR. Copied to clipboard alongside the image. |
|
Area selection (toggle), full screen, active window — each with its own tactile bounce animation. |
Win+Shift+S for full screen, Win+Shift+W for active window. Customisable in Settings. |
|
Last 20 captures in the tray menu. Pin, delete, or clear individual entries. |
After capture: copy, OCR, open in Paint, reveal in Explorer, or open with your preferred editor. |
|
Custom filename templates with project prefixes, sequential numbering, and date-based subfolders. |
English, French, German, Spanish, Japanese. Switch anytime in Settings. |

People who take screenshots dozens of times a day — developers, designers, support agents, writers, and anyone who values speed over menu hunting.
No login, no cloud, no telemetry. It saves to your Desktop and gets out of your way.
"A screenshot tool shouldn't feel like an application. It should feel like part of the screen."
Translucent glass, minimal footprint (240 × 36 px), always-on-top, and zero chrome. The widget is intentionally not an app window — it's a utility that sits at the edge of your workflow.
