The shot stays in reach.

Framit takes the screenshot, and then puts every next step one hover away: copy, copy the text inside it, mark it up, pin it above your windows, reveal it in Finder. No round trip through a folder you have to go find.

Four ways to capture

One shortcut each, and they behave the way you would guess.

Region and window

Drag a region, or hold ⌘ and Framit detects the window, button or panel under the cursor and snaps to it.

Scrolling capture

Long pages, chat logs, code. Scroll manually or let it scroll, and Framit stitches the result into a single image.

Screen recording

MP4 or GIF, with system audio and microphone, cursor effects and click ripples. Annotate while recording.

Timed capture

The countdown runs first and the selection appears after, so you can open the menu you are trying to capture.

Capture pages taller than your screen

You scroll, Framit stitches as you go — web pages, long threads, whole files. A counter shows how much has been taken so far, and one click turns the run into a single tall image.

Mark up right where you captured

Arrows, boxes, highlighter, step numbers, text — the toolbar opens on the capture itself, so the picture is finished before it is saved anywhere. No second app, no round trip.

  • Mosaic, blur and spotlight for the parts that should not be in the picture
  • Numbered badges for a sequence you are walking someone through
  • Annotation keeps working while a screen recording runs

Lift the text straight out of an image

Text recognition runs on your Mac — nothing is uploaded. Drag across a capture to select the words and ⌘C takes them, including the ones a web page will not let you select. Every new capture is checked in the background, and Copy text only appears when there was something to copy.

Pin your reference on top of everything

Images, text, files, PDFs and links float above every window while you work from them. Video plays in place, PDFs page through, and each pin resizes and fades to taste. ⌃H puts them all away at once when you need the screen back.

Everything you have captured, in one window

A library window with a grid of every capture, right-click actions and drag-out. Underneath it is still just a folder of files — no database, nothing to migrate, nothing to lose if you move the folder.

Record the screen

MP4 or GIF, depending on what you are about to paste it into. System audio and the microphone are both optional, and the cursor gets its own treatment — effects that follow it and a ripple on every click, so a recording without narration still reads. Annotation keeps working while the recording runs, so you can point at things as you go.

  • Recordings are written to ~/Movies/Framit by default, or any folder you point them at in Settings
  • The microphone is only requested if you actually record narration, and macOS holds that grant — not us
  • The capture card is excluded from screen capture, so a card on screen never lands in the recording

Stays on your Mac

Framit has no account, no telemetry and no server. Text recognition runs on device through the macOS Vision framework. The Mac App Store build requests no network access at all — there is nothing for it to talk to.

Framit is the capture half of Kopit

Kopit is a clipboard manager with the same capture engine built in. Framit is that engine on its own, for people who want the screenshots without the clipboard history. Same code, maintained once.

Running both? Turn on “Let the standalone app handle capture” in Kopit so a single shortcut does not fire twice.
