SnapJet

Lightning-fast snipping, annotation, blur/redaction, and multi-language OCR — all in one tiny desktop app. Built in Rust for low latency and a small footprint.

Open overlay → select region → annotate/blur → copy or save → (optionally) OCR to text. Feels like WeChat’s snip palette, but faster and cross-platform.

✨ Features

• Instant overlay via global hotkey (configurable)
• Precise selection with magnifier, pixel grid, and 1px nudge
• Annotations: pen, arrow, rectangle, ellipse, text, highlight, step numbers
• Redaction tools: Gaussian blur, pixelate/mosaic
• Clipboard & save: copy image/text; save PNG/JPEG/WebP with templates
• OCR (offline): English (eng), Arabic (ara), Simplified Chinese (chi_sim) — more on demand
• Reselect/adjust the region without starting over
• Optional history: searchable clipboard of recent snips (images + OCR text)
• Privacy-first: all processing local; no telemetry

🏗️ Status

MVP target:

1. Global hotkey → overlay → region select → copy/save
2. Core annotations + blur/pixelate + undo/redo
3. OCR (eng) → add ara & chi_sim language packs on demand
