ClaudeImage

First release 🎉 — Cmd+V clipboard images straight into your terminal for Claude Code.

Copy a screenshot (e.g. CleanShot X → Copy), click into a terminal running Claude Code and press Cmd+V — the app saves the image, pastes its file path, and Claude Code picks it up as [Image #1]. Exactly like drag & drop, minus the mouse.

Features

• 🖥️ Works in iTerm2, Terminal, Warp, kitty, Alacritty, WezTerm and Ghostty
• 🎯 Only intervenes in terminals and only when the clipboard holds an image — everywhere else Cmd+V behaves normally
• 📋 A copied image file (Finder / CleanShot "Copy file") is pasted directly as its path
• ♻️ The clipboard is restored after the paste — you can immediately paste the same image into GUI apps
• 🧹 Screenshots in ~/Pictures/ClaudeImage older than 7 days are cleaned up automatically
• 🎛️ Menu bar icon: enable/disable, open images folder, quit

Installation

1. Download and unzip ClaudeImage.app.zip, move ClaudeImage.app to /Applications
2. The app is ad-hoc signed — open it the first time via right-click → Open, or run:

   xattr -d com.apple.quarantine /Applications/ClaudeImage.app

3. Enable System Settings → Privacy & Security → Accessibility → ClaudeImage
4. Done — copy an image and press Cmd+V in your terminal
