SnapEdit: Lightweight SwiftUI Clipboard Image Editor for macOS
By
Huynh Tu
Lacks bite. And filling. And a copy-editor at the bakery.
Summary
A developer created a lightweight SwiftUI app called SnapEdit that allows users to quickly edit images directly from the clipboard without saving files to the desktop. The app enables users to paste an image (Ctrl+shift+V), make edits, then copy it back to the clipboard (Cmd+C) for instant sharing in apps like Slack or Teams. The tool was developed to solve the developer's personal workflow problem after switching from Windows to macOS, and it's offered as a free productivity tool.

· 3 pulledI couldn't find a lightweight app that felt just right without saving files to the desktop first, so I decided to write one myself using SwiftUI.
Ctrl+shift+V to paste the image -> Make the edit -> Cmd+C to copy back to clipboard.
Its super light and free, I hope it helps your productivity as much as it helped mine
