Capture anything on your screen and it floats right where you took it. When you're done with it, it hangs on a line along the top of your screen, until you need it again.
Copying figures into a form, building to a design, answering a message about a chart: take a picture of what you need and it stays right there, above every window, while you carry on in the app underneath. Circle what matters, point at it, write on it, or blur what's private before you share it. A circle drawn in a hurry comes out round.
Leave a picture alone for a moment and it hangs itself on a line along the top of your screen, with everything else you kept today. While you work, the line gathers into a corner. When you need one again, pull it down and it's back at the size you took it.
Drop a PDF, a photo, a film or a song on the line, or send it from the Finder. Pulled down, it opens where it hangs, with pages to scroll and films to play, while the file itself stays where it was.
A flight number, a birthday, a list for later: write it on a sticky note and leave it on the screen, or peg it on the line with everything else. Each note is a plain text file in your folder, on the paper and in the hand you pick for it.
Pensile lives in the menu bar. There's no window to manage and no library to sort: what you pinned is where you left it.
Click a window to capture just that window, rounded corners and all. Or drag over any area, or take a whole display.
Each display has a line of its own. Send a picture to the next one with ⌘⇧→, or bring every stack to the screen you're on.
Screenshots are PNG files and notes are text files, in a folder you choose. Take something off the line and the file stays.
Paper clips or wooden pegs, with pictures bare or in white, Polaroid, wooden, gold or film-strip frames.
No Dock icon and no main window. Pictures float above your windows, or, if you'd rather, sit among them and come forward when you use Pensile.
No account, no analytics, no tracking. Nothing you capture, pin or write leaves your Mac.
Pensile is a free download with a 14-day free trial of everything. After that, keep it with a purchase inside the app: all of Pensile, on every Mac you use, for your whole family.
A small price, renewed each year. Cancel whenever you like in your App Store settings.
Buy it once and keep it. Costs less than three years of the yearly plan.
Bought in the app, through the App Store. Prices in US dollars; the App Store shows yours in your currency.
Download Pensile from the Mac App Store and start the 14-day trial from the window it opens with. Everything works during the trial. When it ends, what you've pinned stays right where it is; to capture and pin new things, buy Lifetime or subscribe, inside the app.
Yes. Both Lifetime and Yearly include Family Sharing: everyone in your Family Sharing group gets Pensile on their Macs too.
In your App Store account settings, under Subscriptions, at least a day before it renews. You keep Pensile until the end of the year you paid for.
In the menu bar, as a small monochrome Pensile logo. It has no Dock icon and no main window: what you pin floats on the screen or hangs on the line along the top.
macOS asks for it before any app can take a screenshot. Pensile uses it only to take the pictures you ask for, at the moment you ask for them.
As PNG files in Pictures › Screenshots, or any folder you choose. They're ordinary files in your folder, and stay there when you take them off the line.
English, Simplified and Traditional Chinese, Japanese, Korean, French and Spanish.
