Summary

GhostSnap is a macOS menu bar app that solves the frustration of taking multiple screenshots for AI tools. It allows users to snap multiple screenshots, auto-compresses them up to 80%, and enables batch pasting with a single Cmd+V. The app also supports text extraction from multiple screenshots and annotation before pasting. It's a one-time purchase of $6.99 for two Macs, designed to reduce token consumption and streamline workflow when providing visual context to AI applications.
