⌥C

Drag to copy

Grab text you could never select. Tables keep their cells, so pasting into a spreadsheet fills each cell.

⌥T

Drag to translate

It reads the original and picks the direction for you, and the first words appear in under a second. Uses the Claude or ChatGPT subscription you already have, or Apple's on-device translation — no API key needed.

⌥L

Drag to learn

Meaning, vocabulary, grammar and nuance — explained in your language. Save to your notes and build your own vocabulary list.

⌘⇧4

Drag to copy an image

Copies the image itself instead of the text. Captures stack up in the corner of the screen, so an earlier one is still there after the next capture overwrites the clipboard. Hover to see it larger; drag it out to attach it right away.

Scroll for a long image

Capture a page that won’t fit on one screen as a single image. Select an area and scroll as usual — everything that scrolls by is stitched into one tall image and copied.

Capture, then mark it up

Click Edit on a thumbnail to open the editor. Point things out with arrows, shapes, text, and highlights, and hide what others shouldn’t see with a redaction or pixelation. The original stays intact, so you can change it again later.

Frequently asked questions

Are my captures and personal data safe?

Capture, text recognition, and history storage all happen on your Mac. We have no server that receives or stores this data.

AI features use your own Claude or ChatGPT subscription, connected directly. Apple translation runs on your device. You can delete saved history at any time.

How much history is kept?

The free version keeps only the last 10 text and image items each, shows 3 in the menu, and deletes older ones automatically. Pro keeps everything, and you can search the History window to copy anything again at any time. Your remaining history appears as soon as you activate Pro. You can lower how many images are kept in Settings.

How are Monthly or Annual and Lifetime different?

The features are the same. Lifetime is one payment, and the license is checked without an internet connection. Monthly or Annual checks your subscription online from time to time and keeps working offline for up to 72 hours within your paid period. Requires Cracker 1.2.0 or later.

Does Lifetime include updates?

Every update released for at least one year from purchase is included. Versions you receive during that time remain yours to use.

How do I activate Pro after buying?

After payment, your license key appears on screen and arrives by email. Click Open in Cracker, or paste the key in Settings → General → License.

How do I cancel my subscription?

Go to Settings → General → License → Manage subscription. Pro keeps working until the end of the period you’ve paid for, and history you’ve kept is never deleted when it ends. Removing the key from the app does not cancel the subscription.

Can I get a refund?

Yes. Ask within 7 days of purchase for a full refund, no reason needed. For Monthly or Annual, this applies to your first charge only. Renewals aren’t refunded, but you can cancel anytime and keep Pro until the end of the paid period. Read the refund policy

One ⌥C is all it takes.
