ScreenCop - Screenshots that actually paste in macOS

Youo're on your shiny Macbook, you take a screenshot. Hit Cmd+V to paste it into Slack. Nothing happens.

The screenshot saved to your Desktop, but it's not on your clipboard. So you can't paste it.

Now you have to find the file on your Desktop, drag it into Slack, or right-click and copy it first. Every. Single. Time.

This is broken. ScreenCop fixes it.

What it does

Take screenshots with Cmd+Shift+3 or Cmd+Shift+4 like you always do.

ScreenCop instantly copies them to your clipboard.

Now you can paste screenshots anywhere - Slack, email, Figma, Discord, whatever.

And the file is still saved to your Desktop.

Both. Every time. Automatically.

Why you need this

Stop the extra steps. No more hunting for screenshot files just so you can paste them.

Zero friction. Works invisibly. Take screenshot, press Cmd+V, done.

Save actual time. If you take 10 screenshots a day, that's 10 unnecessary file hunts. ScreenCop eliminates all of them.

How it works

ScreenCop runs quietly in your menu bar. When you take a screenshot, it detects the new file and copies it to your clipboard instantly.

No shortcuts to memorize. No settings to configure. Just works.

• Tiny menu bar app (< 1MB)
• Launches automatically on startup
• Works with your existing screenshot shortcuts
• Zero performance impact
• No permissions needed
• Respects your custom screenshot location
