What it does
Capture from anywhere
Grab a region with ⌥⇧⌘S or the whole screen, from any app, with global shortcuts.
A thumbnail that waits for you
Your capture appears as a small floating thumbnail that stays on top without stealing focus. Drag it anywhere, or paste it with ⌘V.
Annotate in seconds
Arrows, rectangles, ellipses, text, pencil, blur and numbered markers to show exactly what you mean.
Several captures at once
Edit multiple captures side by side, then copy them together as a single image — perfect for giving an AI the full context.
Recent history
Recent captures are kept in a history on your Mac, so you can reopen one you already closed.
No account, no cloud
Tempo doesn't connect to any AI service. The image goes wherever you drop it, and nowhere else.
Permissions
macOS asks for Screen Recording permission the first time. Tempo needs it to capture your screen; captures stay on your Mac.
Privacy
Captures, annotations and history are stored only on your Mac. Tempo never uploads them. Privacy Policy →
Questions
Does Tempo use AI?
No. Tempo prepares the image; you choose where to drop it — ChatGPT, Claude, Slack, Mail or any app that accepts images.
Where are my captures saved?
Only where you drag, paste or save them. Tempo also keeps a local history on your Mac that you can turn off.
All four apps
