ContextSnap is built to share only what you choose, with no one but you.
You control every capture
It captures only when you press the shortcut. Nothing watches or records in the background.
Your data stays local
Snapshots are made on your computer and go only to your clipboard. No uploads, accounts, or cloud.
Sensitive information is redacted
Keys, tokens, passwords, and email addresses are replaced before copying. It can miss things, so look before you paste.
Private data stays untouched
It never reads file contents, password fields, cookies, browser history, or environment variables.
This website counts download requests (clicks on its download buttons, not installations): the platform, the version, and the time. Only if you accept analytics cookies, a random ID kept in your browser is added to estimate unique downloads; declining removes it. No names, emails, or IP addresses are stored, and the apps themselves never send anything.
Stop describing your screen.
Press one shortcut and your AI chat sees what you see.
