THE PRODUCT, END TO ENDFROM “WHERE?”
TO DONE.
Snap It is a native desktop companion. It understands the screen you are already working in, listens to your request, and either shows the exact next step or carries out an approved action.
THE BASIC FLOW
You point. You speak.
Snap It grounds the answer.
Hold, speak, release.
Hold Option + Space, speak, then release. The activity bar appears at the top of the screen. Screen help needs separate consent; with all-display help enabled, a hotkey press captures all connected displays. Say “text only” to discard images before upload.
Screen vision meets native structure.
Consented screen images provide visual context. Selected-window tasks can also use visible accessibility controls. Results can still be wrong: verify important answers and actions.
Choose guidance or action.
“Show it to me” keeps Snap It in guidance-only mode. “Do it for me” requires explicit intent and only runs grounded, bounded steps.
EVERYDAY MODES
One companion.
Several ways to work.
GUIDE MODESee exactly where.
Ask how to find a setting. Snap It can point to a control or explain with on-screen annotations. Check the result before acting.
ACTION MODEApprove, then let it work.
Snap It can click, type, and move through bounded workflows. Use the task’s Stop control or Escape to interrupt supported tasks.
STRUCTURED DICTATIONSpeak messily. Write clearly.
Focus an editable field, hold Control + Option + D, speak, then release. Escape pauses and keeps a recoverable draft. Review cleaned text before using it.
VISUAL REASONINGExplain what is on screen.
Frame a region, ask a question, or work through a visual maths, physics, chemistry, design, or code problem.
