SnapPile is a temporary visual clipboard for AI workflows: capture an area, keep it briefly in a floating stack, and drag it where you need it.

What's new since 0.1.5

  • Capture a whole window. Tap Space during selection to switch to window picking. The window under the pointer is highlighted; a click or Return captures its own content, even where other windows cover it. Tap Space again to return to area selection. Holding Space still moves the area selection.
  • Screenshots for coding agents. Coding agents such as Claude Code can talk to SnapPile over the Model Context Protocol. Turn on Settings → Coding Agents → Allow Agent Requests (off by default) and run the setup command shown there. With request_screenshot, the agent asks and you select the area or window; get_latest_screenshot returns the newest image in the pile.
  • Captures without selection, if you allow them. A second opt-in, Allow Captures Without Selection, lets agents capture a whole display (capture_screen), list open windows (list_windows), and capture one window even when it is covered (capture_window). These captures go only to the agent, never into the pile.
  • The agent connection is a Unix socket that only your user account can open. Images are passed in memory and scaled to at most 1568 pixels on the longest edge for the agent.

Install

Download SnapPile-0.2.0.dmg, open it, and drag SnapPile into Applications. Launch it from Applications; the app lives in the menu bar. Onboarding guides you through Screen Recording permission and optional Input Monitoring for the two-Option shortcut. If macOS asks you to restart after granting access, quit and reopen SnapPile.

Requires macOS 14 or later. Universal app for Apple Silicon and Intel, signed with Developer ID and notarized by Apple. The interface currently ships in English only.

Drag acceptance depends on the receiving app. Copying or saving the PNG provides an alternative.
