§ 01 keybindings

The whole app is two hotkeys and a tray icon. Everything else is out of your way.

AUTO
capture → upload → url
No editor, no prompt. Hotkey to clipboard in ~200ms.
mac ⌘+ ⇧+ 6
win Ctrl+ ⇧+ 6
EDIT
capture → annotate → upload
Pre-upload editor: pen, highlighter, text. Skippable.
mac ⌘+ ⇧+ 7
win Ctrl+ ⇧+ 7
§ 02 annotation

Three tools that matter. Pen for emphasis, highlighter for context, text for a callout. Skip it entirely and auto mode is instant.

§ 06 faq
?what if i'm offline?[+]
→ hotkey never blocks. saves locally, copies the file path. paste what you have.
?how does sign-in work?[+]
→ email + 6-digit otp. device token stored in os keychain (mac) / credential store (win).
?multi-device?[+]
→ yes. each device signs in independently. quota is per-account.
?is there a paid plan?[+]
→ free tier is 100 uploads/day, utc reset. paid plan coming. no cc to install.
?does it auto-launch?[+]
→ yes, by default. toggleable in preferences.
?why not electron?[+]
→ because it's a tray app. native on both platforms, no chromium along for the ride.

Built for people who are already two tabs deep in a conversation with an agent. Free, small, out of your way.
