Snip the grid.
Skip the grind.
Drag a rectangle over anything on your screen — a table inside a PDF, a chart, a question — and GridSnip turns it into structured data, a plain-language explanation, or a direct answer. Instantly.

Snips, chat, and PC help
Four rectangle modes for anything on screen — plus Troubleshoot from the FAB on Windows.
Region → extract
Crops a region and returns a structured table with editable rows and columns. Export directly to Excel in one click.
Best for grids inside apps, browsers, and PDFs.
Region → explain
Returns a plain-language Markdown explanation of whatever is in the crop — charts, slides, formulas, dense text.
Best for anything visual that needs interpreting.
Region → answer
Returns direct, bolded answers. Great for multiple-choice questions, short-answer homework, or any content that needs a fast reply.
Best for exam questions and quick lookups.
Chat
Standalone AI chat — no screenshot needed. Ask follow-up questions about a previous capture or start a fresh conversation.
Best for back-and-forth and follow-ups.
Troubleshoot my PC
Chat with a concise technical assistant; suggested checks run in PowerShell only after you approve each command. Use Settings allowlist or review everything manually.
Best for Wi‑Fi issues, disk space, startup slowness, and driver glitches.
Why not just use the snipping tool?
Snipping tools capture. GridSnip thinks.

Stays out of your way — until you need it
GridSnip lives as a small floating button pinned to the corner of your screen. It never covers your work. One click expands it; one drag captures anything. When you're done it collapses back — no taskbar clutter, no browser tab to switch to, no window to restore.
Collapses to a single circle — smaller than a taskbar icon — and never overlaps your content.
Click to expand, drag to snip. Result appears instantly. No save dialog, no file to find.
Unlike a browser tab or a chat window, GridSnip is gone from view the moment you finish.
