Menu Bar Apps Tools

New since our first launch: StepGrab runs on Windows, and projects open on Mac and PC. Black out emails, names or prices, and the box is burned into every export so nobody can lift it off. Every guide opens in an editor: rewrite steps, add arrows, boxes and text, reorder, undo. The direct Mac download uses Accessibility to read the real name of every button you click, so steps get more precise. Still the core: every click becomes a screenshot, arrow and sentence. No account, nothing uploaded.

Peras puts a line in your Claude Code and Codex week. Set it (peras set weekly 85 pause) and once usage crosses it, the agent's next tool call is refused with a plain reason, so one long task can't burn the rest of your week.
