About SnapName
SnapName watches your screenshot folder and uses local AI to suggest useful filenames on your Mac. Private by Design: screenshot never leaves your Mac and is named locally by a bundled Gemma 4 AI Model. SnapName watches your screenshot folder and lets you review and choose from three AI name suggestions. Or just choose auto-save to automatically go with the first AI suggestion without having to do anything. Approve a suggested name yourself, or turn on auto-save for watched-folder files.
About Trace
A macOS menu-bar app that turns any conversation into a clean markdown transcript, with an optional on-device summary. Runs a local speech model entirely on your Mac, in dozens of languages. The moment is pinned to your transcript at the exact timestamp. Trace provides you with clear markdown transcripts and summaries that you can use anywhere. Either copy the markdown from Trace directly or have it place the file anywhere in your filesystem. Trace can also send files directly to Obsidian, Bear, Drafts or Things with a button press.
