Description
🪩 Provide a link to the proposed addition
😳 Explain why it should be added
I'd like to suggest adding Quilt, a native macOS app, to the Screencapturing Software section of this list.
Quilt is a powerful screen-capture utility designed to turn anything on the screen (even from apps that block exporting, like e-book readers or online textbooks) into a high-quality, searchable PDF.
It's a valuable addition to this list because it solves a problem that standard screenshot tools don't:
Capture Automation: It can be set to automatically press a key (e.g., "right arrow") or perform a mouse click after each screenshot. This allows users to capture entire presentations, protected e-books, or online course materials hands-free.
On-Device OCR: All captures are processed locally with OCR, so the exported PDFs are fully searchable. This works completely offline, respecting user privacy.
Native & Fair: It's a native Swift/macOS app with a "no subscription" model. It offers a generous free tier and a one-time-purchase for the Pro version.
It's a unique tool for students, researchers, and professionals who need to digitize and archive content that is otherwise "stuck" on the screen.
📖 Additional context
Pricing: Free tier available + one-time purchase for Pro
