Grab anything on your screen.

Screenshots, screen recordings, text and everything you copy, in one Mac app. Grab it, mark it up, and it's already on your clipboard to paste.

14 days free with everything unlocked. No card, no account.

Grab it. Mark it up. Paste it.

Every capture goes straight to your clipboard. Add an arrow or two first if it needs explaining, then paste it wherever the conversation is.

Four tools. One clipboard.

Made for people who share their screen all day: product managers, designers, support teams, developers and teachers.

    Private by design.

    What you grab from your screen is often private. Koyote keeps it on your Mac.

    Nothing leaves your Mac

    Screenshots, recordings, recognised text and clipboard history stay on your disk. There is no cloud to upload to.

    No account

    Download it and start. No sign up, no email, no profile.

    Careful with secrets

    Passwords from your password manager are never saved. Copied secrets get cleared from the clipboard.

    Questions

    Does it run on Intel Macs?

    Yes. Koyote runs on any Mac with macOS 14 Sonoma or later, Apple silicon or Intel.

    Why isn't it on the Mac App Store?

    Koyote needs permissions the App Store doesn't allow, like pasting into other apps for you. So we sell it directly, from this site.

    What happens after the trial?

    The trial unlocks everything for 14 days. After that, Koyote asks for a licence to keep working. Your captures and clipboard history stay on your Mac either way.

    How many Macs can I use it on?

    One licence covers 3 Macs that you use.

    Can I get a refund?

    Yes. If Koyote isn't right for you, email us within 14 days of buying and we'll refund you in full.

    Do I get updates?

    Updates are free for a year from purchase. After that, the version you have keeps working for good. You only pay again if you want newer updates.

    Does anything leave my Mac?

    Your screenshots, recordings, text and clipboard never do. Koyote goes online for two small things. When your trial starts, it checks once that this Mac hasn't had a trial before, sending only an anonymous ID for the Mac. When you buy, it activates and checks your licence, sending the licence key, your Mac's name and that same anonymous ID, so one licence can cover 3 Macs.

    Do I need an account?

    No. There is no account and no sign up. You download Koyote and use it.
