About Snapdown
Snapdown turns anything on your screen into clean, structured Markdown. Press one shortcut, select a region, and the result is placed on your clipboard, with fast, private processing that runs entirely on your Mac. Unlike basic OCR that produces a wall of text, it is designed to preserve useful structure, including headings, lists, paragraphs, reading order, and tables. Recognition runs locally on Apple silicon, so captures never need to leave your device, no cloud account is required, and the app can work offline. Aggregate Mode lets you collect multiple captures, such as an error, its settings, and the expected result, and append them to the same Markdown document without interrupting your workflow. Built as a native macOS app, it uses familiar controls and shortcuts, provides menu bar access, adapts to system appearance, and saves normal Markdown and text files that can be opened anywhere without a proprietary workspace.
