Frequently Asked Questions
What is Snapling?
Snapling is a snipping tool for Mac that brings screenshots, scrolling captures, GIF recording, OCR, clipboard capture, screenshot history, and Visual Memory into one local-first workflow.
Is Snapling a local-first snipping tool for Mac?
Yes. Snapling is local-first and does not require an account. Captures, OCR text, clipboard content, and visual history are designed to stay close to your Mac unless you choose to export or share them.
Does the OCR run locally on my Mac?
Yes. Text recognition and translation run on your Mac, so screenshots and the text inside them don't need to be uploaded before you work with them.
Is Snapling free to use?
Yes. The Free plan includes the core capture toolkit, OCR, translation, background canvas, and up to 50 Visual Memory items. Pro is a $29 one-time purchase, and Founding Edition is $69.
Can Snapling search screenshots by text on Mac?
Yes. Snapling uses OCR so text inside Mac screenshots can be copied, searched, translated, and reused later instead of staying locked inside image files.
How is Snapling different from a basic Mac screenshot app?
Basic screenshot apps usually stop after capture or sharing. Snapling connects screenshots with OCR, GIFs, clipboard content, tags, favorites, export, and a searchable Visual Memory Library.
Does Snapling support scrolling screenshots and GIFs?
Yes. Snapling covers scrolling screenshots and short GIF recording inside the same tool, so still images and motion explainers can stay in the same capture workflow.
Who should use Snapling?
Snapling is useful for product teams, support, research, documentation, tutorials, and anyone who needs screenshots to become searchable, reusable context rather than loose files on the desktop.
