Field notes
Lasso uses a configurable Control–Shift–Space shortcut to capture a rectangular region across apps, PDFs, videos, slides, websites, and remote desktops. Its listed modules cover both everyday material—receipts, events, addresses, QR codes, and package numbers—and technical inputs such as JSON, JWTs, Base64, URLs, UUIDs, and code snippets. Tables can be exported as CSV, TSV, or Markdown, while selected content is described as being processed on the Mac.
