Capture text from anywhere on your screen, instantly
Capture text from anywhere on your screen, instantly. Press a global hotkey, drag to select any region, and the text is on your clipboard. Need more than a screenshot? Drag and drop a PDF, image, or handwritten note, and ZenOCR turns it into clean Markdown. It all runs on your Mac. Nothing is ever uploaded to a server. KEY FEATURES • Two capture modes: Fast (Apple Vision) for instant text, AI (on-device model) for complex layouts, tables, and math • Configurable global hotkeys: trigger a capture from any app, no mouse needed • Structured Markdown: tables, multi-column pages, math equations, and handwriting all come through clean • Copy anywhere: straight into your editor, your notes app, or an LLM prompt • Fully offline: after a one-time model download, it never needs the network again PRIVATE BY DESIGN ZenOCR collects zero data. The first launch downloads an OCR model once; after that, everything runs offline. Perfect for confidential contracts, research papers, medical documents, and anything you'd rather not upload to a third party. ONE-TIME PURCHASE Try ZenOCR free.
