Install either app independently. Capture runs from the system tray or menu bar; Desktop opens an agent workspace. All downloads above are v0.3.2.
- Press Shift+Alt+A (Shift+Option+A on Mac) in the source window.
- Select and annotate up to eight regions. Ctrl-drag enters continuous selection; choose a drawing tool or region letter when ready to annotate.
- Finish the capture, click the destination input, and press Alt+A.
Paste follows image A → context A → image B → context B. Each image stays separate at its original dimensions. Context includes available DOM or native accessibility details; inputs that ignore images still receive text.
The batch remains ready for another deliberate paste. Successful pastes finish silently. The receiving app controls image support and attachment placement.
Capture does not need an agent account or Desktop. Its tray menu provides capture, copy, text-only paste and slower image paste controls.
Connect Codex, Claude Code, OpenCode, Gemini CLI, Hermes, OpenClaw or Pi. Choose among the models and commands each runtime exposes, manage sessions, and keep separate drafts and attachments for each chat.
Press Alt+A (⌥ A on Mac) to select and annotate screen regions, then review the attachments in your draft before sending. The selected agent owns credentials, tools, permissions and canonical history.

Capture starts when you invoke it. Selected pixels are retained; browser or accessibility context is added only when available and reliably aligned. Otherwise the selection is marked Image only with an explanation.
Review what you share: source metadata can extend beyond the selected pixels. The receiving app or selected agent's provider policies apply. Capture limits · Privacy
Desktop's Full access (YOLO) setting is on by default. Turn it off to follow each agent's permission policy and display its approval requests. Agent permissions
Both apps live in this repository, with separate entrypoints, packages and CI lanes. They share native capture components. Desktop adds Flutter and the Rust agent broker; Capture owns its tray, hotkeys and clipboard flow.
