Capture anything on your Mac with Stash. This smart shelf uses OCR, AI background removal, and now on-device audio transcription & translation. Batch process files, text, and media with powerful, context-aware quick actions. No cloud required.
Greetings, Product Hunt community!
I'm Jeffrey Asante, and I can't wait to show you all the most recent iteration of Stash!
Stash is an intelligent staging area for your Mac, sitting at the edge of your screen. Easily manage temporary files, text, and media with drag-and-drop for quick access and processing.
Here are some of the things you can do with Stash:
- Smart Clipboard Capture: Automatically monitors your clipboard.
- OCR Text Extraction: Instantly pulls text from images and screenshots.
- AI Background Removal: Removes backgrounds from photos with a single click.
- Quick Actions & Batch Processing: Create custom workflows to handle multiple files at once.
- And much more, all with 100% privacy (no cloud processing).
Stash is a native macOS app with a strong focus on privacy—all processing happens on your device.
There is a Pro version with all features unlocked, as well as a free tier to get you started.
I'm here all day to answer any questions and would love to get your feedback. Thanks for checking out Stash!
Congratulations @jeffasante and team! 🎉 Stash is truly impressive for Mac users managing temporary files and media—I'm curious—how does Stash's OCR and AI background removal coordinate with the drag-and-drop workflow as part of a unified, privacy-first processing flow? Does Stash enable automated handoffs between clipboard capture and batch processing, and support real-time analytics for tracking file operations and storage? Would also love to hear about any upcoming features!
It looks very convenient for Mac users. Will there be customization options? For example, to change colors?
Finally a way to stash screenshots and pull text right off them—OCR built-in is super useful! I want to ask also, does Stash handle PDFs too?
