Tendedero: capture it, copy it, hang it all out to dry
Tendedero is a free, open source Mac app that hangs every screenshot you take, and anything you copy, on a line just above your screen. Rest the pointer in the menu bar and the line glides down. Click to copy, hold to mark up, drag into any app or folder, and search the line with ⌃⌥F. This page is a working demo: take a screenshot with the toolbar at the bottom, or copy any text on it.
About Tendedero
Free and open source (MIT), by Alejandro Buján. Launched on October 7, 2026.
macOS 14 Sonoma or later, Apple silicon and Intel. Signed and notarized by Apple. No account, no network access, no analytics.
Gestures: click to copy, press and hold for Markup, double click for Preview, force click for Quick Look, drag into an app or folder, drag to the Trash or click the cross to let it go.
Screenshots can skip the Desktop and the floating thumbnail; screen recordings hang too.
Copied text hangs as a note, a sheet from Notes with its first line as the title; a copied web address hangs as a link with its site and path; copied images hang like screenshots. Each is turned on under Hang what you copy.
Control-Option-F searches the line: the words in every screenshot, read on the Mac, and in every note and link.
