Snap to AI – One-Keystroke Screenshots to Claude, ChatGPT, etc. (macOS)

Snap to AI is a macOS app that lets users capture screenshots with a single keystroke and send them directly to AI tools like Claude and ChatGPT.

Background

- Snap to AI is a new macOS utility that lets users take screenshots with a single keystroke and instantly send them to AI chat tools like Claude, ChatGPT, or Gemini. - It solves a common friction: instead of saving a screenshot, opening a chat, uploading the image, and typing a prompt, Snap to AI does it in one step — the image goes directly into the AI's input box. - The tool is relevant to the growing ecosystem of "AI desktop companions" — lightweight apps that sit in the menu bar and streamline repeated AI interactions, similar to how tools like Alfred or Raycast automate workflows. - It supports multiple AI providers and lets users pre-set prompts (e.g., "Describe this image" or "Extract the text"), making it a productivity tool for power users who frequently use AI vision features.
