App: ScreenHint

Get photographic memory at your fingertips with ScreenHint, a minimal status-bar app for creating always-visible snapshots. Instead of juggling multiple apps and tabs, ScreenHint lets you capture a piece of your screen, turning it in to a hint that hovers over your other windows. It can help you keep focused, remember something important, or stay inspired while you work.

ScreenHint is:

* Simple — no account needed, no setup required, and no learning curve to master.
* Effective — keep your notes, inspiration, and documentation a glance away.
* Secure — we don't collect any data, and your hints are never saved anywhere unless you want them to be.

I wrote ScreenHint because I need a tool like it to do my job. I want it to be reliable and robust, and I want it to work without a subscription to any kind of service. I promise to never require a subscription to use ScreenHint, and to never offer a paid subscription without providing a non-subscription alternative.


Planned features:

- Temporarily hide all hints when you need to focus
- The ability to re-open a recently-closed hint
- Annotation and mark-up tools
- Customizable default settings.


ScreenHint was inspired by Snappy, but is intended as a productivity tool, rather than as a screenshot management and sharing tool. While it no longer appears to be maintained, you can learn more about Snappy here: http://snappy-app.com/
If you develop, maintain, or work on Snappy, I would love to talk to you! I love your tool, and it pains me that upgrading to macOS 11 seems to have broken it. Email me at screenhint@salem.io.

Release notes:
This one's a big one:
• There's now an onboarding flow to help new users get set up.
• Hint creation has been overhauled and should be much more performant and less memory-intensive.
• The hint creation overlay has been redesigned.
• Hints now animate in and out, and the currently-focused hint
