Anvil Capture

Capture anything. Find it again instantly.

Anvil Capture is a local-first Windows capture and visual-memory utility. It combines screenshots, OCR, searchable history, clipboard history, scrolling capture, screen recording, annotations and step-by-step documentation in one tool.

Free edition notice: Anvil Capture Compute, the free edition, can use a limited amount of your unused CPU to mine Monero for Anvil Interactive Solutions. This only happens after you explicitly accept the Compute Agreement, and you can revoke it at any time. See Anvil Capture Compute below.
