Grabbit doesn't seem to work anymore, so I'm looking for a replacement copy and paste app for my iMac. Tahoe OS is installed.

edit: It actually did a better job last night when I first tested it. :)
Well, the instructions usually (ALWAYS) give you SCREENSHOT as an option. So, I suppose if you follow the instructions, you'll be able to do it without any trouble. By the way, I have also installed Zight, which seems to be a really great copying. app. Why now? Well, I had started on it some time ago, but when I noticed it recently, I finished the job.

I've been using Skitch for a long time because it is (was?) connected to Evernote, which was my main note-taking app for years.
Just to be clear, TextSniper captures text from any app, game, PDF, image, or video with a simple click and drag.
Yes, I figured that. However, I think a large part of the confusion at the beginning of the thread was the fact that it wasn't clear the OP was talking about not just simple copying and pasting but also about screenshots. I think they're conflating them. I don't have a good way (or perhaps I lack the patience) to explain the differences.

Why not try for the best? Incidentally, one of my chatbots just gave me a useful comparison of copying apps, but I think I'm done for now. Enough is enough. (10/6/25)
It doesn't hurt anything, but there's no reason I can see to type the date in manually. All posts are date and time-stamped.
Why?
I’m as curious as the last person who commented. Does cmd+c and cmd+v not work? Does the native function lack something?

Because…
No, the Mac solutions SOMETIMES do not work. That's what I said. That's why I came here.
What is it?
Anyway, I think I've found the answer; I'm just having trouble downloading it from the Apple store. What? Oh, it's "TextSniper."

The Developer of TextSniper is Valerijs Boguckis. I don't believe TS has been updated since 2020.

Not that it matters but according to the App Store it was updated 3 hours ago.
Just to add, it's been updated 16 times in the last 5 years.
So far. I'm very impressed by their service. I can't remember ever having replies so quickly, and I'm 87.

Actually it was updated yesterday. As I mentioned.
