ScreenAI
What it is
ScreenAI is desktop software for Linux, macOS, and Windows that combines screen capture, annotation, and AI questions about captured content. It captures regions, full screens, windows, freeform areas, or scrolling content, with timed delay and a precision magnifier. Annotation tools include pencil, arrows, shapes, text, step numbers, highlighting, blur, crop, and eraser. Users can resize images, adjust brightness, contrast, and saturation, and add text or logo watermarks. OCR extracts text, while automatic masking can cover emails, numbers, and IP addresses. Supported AI providers listed are Claude, GPT-4o, Gemini, Mistral, Grok, and Ollama. Captures are saved and OCR-indexed for chaining, batch processing, pinning, or joint AI use. Exports include PNG, JPEG, PDF, and animated GIF. The free plan costs nothing and allows 10 AI requests daily; Premium costs $7 a month.
