OCR & capture

TextLift

Turn any screenshot into text, tables included.

Press a hotkey, select a region, and TextLift lifts the text to your clipboard. Its wedge is structure: real tables come out as Markdown, CSV or Excel, not a jumbled blob.

  • On-device Vision OCR
  • Tables → Markdown / CSV / Excel
  • QR & barcode reading

Animation: TextLift shows an image of a slide next to the recognised text, then copies the text.

The Novantia way

The rules every app follows

Apps that sit in your menu bar all day get a lot of access. These are the rules we hold ourselves to.

  1. 01 / 04

    Private by design

    Processing happens on your Mac. No telemetry, no tracking, no accounts. What you capture stays with you.

  2. 02 / 04

    Native through and through

    Written in Swift for Apple Silicon. No Electron and no Rosetta, so it's light on memory and battery.

  3. 03 / 04

    Pay once, or nothing at all

    One price, no subscription, and every update to the version you bought is free. Novantia Kit is free.

  4. 04 / 04

    Signed & notarized

    Every release is Developer-ID signed and notarized by Apple, and asks for the fewest permissions possible.
