Clipboard history, screenshot annotation, OCR, and an AI assistant — in one native menu-bar app. Pay once. Keep it forever. No subscription, ever.
A calm, native menu-bar app. Browse the tools below — this is the real interface.
Two chains you run every week — played out exactly as they happen in OwnKit.
Paste, CleanShot X, superwhisper and TextSniper — the specialist apps power users already stack — add up to $150+ upfront and $115+/year in subscriptions. OwnKit: $39, once. No renewal to keep it working.

Every copy — text, links, images — lands in a searchable history you can pin and reach instantly, from anywhere on your Mac. No more re-copying the same snippet three times a day.
Grab a zone, a window, or the full screen, then annotate right there — arrows, text, highlights, blur for anything sensitive — and copy or export in one step. No separate app, no round-trip to Preview.
Point at any screen or image and lift the text out of it — a PDF you can't select, a screenshot from a call, a photo of a whiteboard. One shortcut, powered by Apple's own Vision framework, straight into your clipboard.
Select any text and rewrite, translate, or summarize it on the spot. Use Apple Intelligence for free where it's available, or bring your own OpenAI/Anthropic key for more control. Either way, you pay your own usage — we never resell tokens or mark up your API bill.
Capture a screen → OCR pulls the text out → the AI assistant rewrites or translates it → it's already sitting in your clipboard history, searchable. That chain — capture to clean, ready-to-paste text — is the actual product.

No tiers that expire, no "renew or lose it." Buy once, keep working forever.
Everything you need to stop juggling four separate free apps.
Everything you need, unlimited — plus AI and the full capture-to-clipboard flow.
One payment. No subscription, no recurring fee to keep OwnKit working.
Personal use, on your Macs. Full license terms at checkout.
Yes. You pay once for Pro ($39 early-bird, $49 after), and you keep using that copy of OwnKit for as long as you want. There's no recurring fee to keep the app working, and no feature gets switched off if you stop paying — because you only ever pay once.
Free covers the basics of clipboard history, screenshot capture with basic annotation, and OCR — enough to genuinely replace the free tools you're using today. Pro removes the limits (unlimited history, advanced capture, batch OCR) and adds the AI Assistant plus the full capture → OCR → AI → clipboard flow, which is where OwnKit earns its keep.
No. On a Mac with Apple Intelligence enabled, OwnKit uses it by default at no extra cost. If you'd rather use your own OpenAI, Anthropic, or other API key — for a different model or wider availability — you can. Either way, you're in control of the key and the bill; we never resell your usage.
Clipboard history, screenshots, and OCR never leave your Mac. The AI Assistant only sends the text you explicitly select — to Apple's on-device model if you're using Apple Intelligence, or to the API you've configured if you're using your own key. Nothing goes through OwnKit's own servers, because we don't have any for your data.
Setapp bundles 250+ apps for a monthly fee — you don't own any of them, and the moment you stop paying, they stop working. OwnKit is one app, purpose-built to replace the 3-4 utilities you actually use every day, and it's yours the moment you buy it. Fewer apps, no subscription meter.
macOS 14 (Sonoma) or later. OwnKit is built natively for Apple Silicon; the core features also run on Intel Macs. Apple Intelligence, where used, additionally requires a Mac and macOS version that supports it.
Yes, within a personal-use license — the exact device limit is confirmed at checkout.
Reach out at hello@ownkit.app and we'll make it right — no hoops to jump through.
Clipboard, screenshots, OCR and AI — one app, one price, yours forever.
