What makes it different
Three things I wouldn't compromise on
ONE
It finishes the job
Capture, mark and send all happen in one place. No files left on your desktop to chase.
TWO
It's made for AI
Numbered notes and a chat that gets the picture straight away, whichever AI you use.
THREE
It's yours
It lives on your Mac, with no account to create and nothing uploaded behind your back.
