A better place for what you just captured
Your screenshots and files, always within reach. A lightweight filmstrip that keeps your workflow moving.

A place between capture and destination
Screenshots get buried. Temporary files crowd the desktop. Finder breaks your focus. Snaprail keeps the things you need next at the edge of your screen, ready for a quick drag.
Made for the moments in between
Take region, window, or full-screen screenshots with shortcuts you can customize.
Collect screenshots and supported files in an edge filmstrip, up to 20 items.
Move an item into messages, email, documents, design tools, and more.
Click a thumbnail for a closer look before you use it.
Optionally import copied images from the clipboard, including images from other tools.
