Most people who work on a Mac have lost something they copied an hour earlier. Others have retyped an error message by hand because it sat inside a screenshot. SnipVault was created for both of these issues. The macOS app, published by DPR Software Labs OPC Private Limited in Bangalore, India, saves everything a user copies or screenshots into a searchable local vault and pastes it back into any app.For anyone searching for an OCR software for mac download, SnipVault reads text straight off the screen. A user presses ??2, drags over a region, and the recognized text lands on the clipboard. The app runs on Apple's on-device Vision framework, so images are never uploaded. SnipVault keeps the screenshot and its extracted text together in the vault, which means a line captured last week still turns up in a search today. It can also read areas that Apple's Live Text does not reach, such as paused video frames and PDFs. QR codes decode straight to text. Alongside OCR, the app keeps an unlimited clipboard history with full-text search and expands saved snippets from short :keywords in any app.
"Our users wanted one place for their clipboard and for the text they see on screen. SnipVault puts both a single keystroke away and keeps the whole vault on their own Mac. If someone grabs a line from a slide during a video call, we want it waiting in their vault the next time they need it," said a spokesperson for SnipVault.
Privacy shapes how the app handles sensitive data. SnipVault ignores password managers by default, and one-time passcodes and card numbers expire from the vault after 60 seconds. Its panels stay hidden from screen sharing and recordings. The app asks for only one permission, Accessibility, and it does not log keystrokes. There is no account and no SnipVault server. The app runs on macOS 13 and later, on both Apple Silicon and Intel Macs. Every plan includes every feature, with options of $2.49 per month, $29.99 per year, or a one-time payment of $79. Each plan starts with a 7-day free trial that needs no credit card.
