Read the full description
Unpixel is a Mac menu bar app that copies text from anything on your screen. Press ⇧⌘2, drag over a video, screen share, scanned PDF or image, and the text is on your clipboard — recognized on-device by Apple’s Vision framework. Captured images are never saved or uploaded, and there’s no account. It also reads QR codes and pastes tables as tables. One-time purchase from $5.99, no subscription, every 1.x update included.
