I take dozens of screenshots daily for work and AI chats. But the native macOS thumbnail always annoyed me: it vanishes after a few seconds, forcing me to switch to my Desktop, and hunt down recent screenshots. And if I take several screenshots in a row, it’s a total mess. On top of that, making quick edits in Preview always felt clunky.
So I built Archie— native Mac app that turns your notch into an instant shelf for your captures.
What Archie does:
📸 Notch Shelf: Keep screenshots right in your notch, ready to drag-and-drop anytime.

Hey Product Hunt 👋
I’m Artiom, a product designer and builder.

What Archie does:
📸 Notch Shelf: Keep screenshots right in your notch, ready to drag-and-drop anytime.
✏️ Quick Editor: Crop, draw, add arrows, text, and numbered steps.
🔒 Smart Text Blur: Click any sensitive word or email to blur it instantly.
📋 Instant OCR: Copy text from any screenshot (100% local processing via Apple VisionKit).
📌 Auto-Cleanup & Pinning: Pin what you need; let Archie clean up the rest.
Works with your usual Mac shortcuts (⌘⇧3, ⌘⇧4, ⌘⇧5) on Macs with or without a physical notch.
I built Archie to fix my own daily frustrations. I’d love to hear your thoughts and feedback!
