Field notes
The workflow begins with Control–Command–P, then lets the user drag a region or choose a window or full screen; Space and Return are listed as selection shortcuts. Text extraction uses Apple’s Vision framework on-device, and the page says keys, tokens, passwords, card numbers, and emails are masked in both text and image. It lists four output formats and nine MCP tools; its feature table marks several capture and editing options as Pro.
