Stash
1 commentStash captures screenshots, GIFs and screen recordings on Mac and embeds structured metadata that AI coding agents can actually read. Every capture includes an AI Context Banner showing the app, OS version, display settings, and an 8-character capture ID, plus XMP metadata and an accessibility tree inside the PNG. When you paste a Stash capture into Claude Code, Cursor, or any coding assistant, the agent sees the window structure, the mode, and an arrow you drew as structured data instead of guessing from pixels. The app also includes clipboard history, video recording with frame extraction, and favorites you can paste with a hotkey. Everything stays on your Mac by default. Free during public beta, requires macOS 14 or later. Built by Chris Doyle.

Every other screenshot tool outputs a plain PNG. The coding agent sees pixels, guesses what they mean, and asks you three follow-up questions. Stash embeds the context the agent needs as structured metadata before the file leaves your machine.
The AI Context Banner is the part that made me switch. A Stash capture tells Claude Code which app, which OS, whether it is dark mode, and where the red arrow I drew is pointing, all as data the model can query rather than infer. The difference shows up the first time you paste a screenshot of a rendering bug and the agent explains the problem without asking whether you are on macOS or what display scale you are using. The MCP integration is solid, and the clipboard history is useful even if you ignore the AI layer.
