Features

• Capture — Global shortcut freezes the desktop and lets you drag a region to analyze.
• AI — Send the capture to Groq for chat-style answers and follow-up questions.
• Text — OCR-style extraction from the screenshot.
• Lens — Open or route captures toward Google Lens workflows.

Requirements

• Windows (x64), Node.js 18+ for development and builds.
• A Groq API key (Groq Console) for live AI (not needed for Test mode).

Quick start (development)

npm install

Create a .env file in the project root:

GROQ_KEY=your_groq_api_key_here

npm run dev

The app runs in the system tray. Use the shortcut configured in the app (see tray tooltip) to start a capture.

Building a Windows installer

1. Put GROQ_KEY in .env (used only during the bake step for the packaged app).
2. Run:

npm run dist

Output: dist/SnapSense-Setup-<version>.exe (NSIS installer).
npm run pack produces an unpacked folder under dist/ for testing without an installer.

The build scripts generate a temporary baked key file from .env, then remove it after packaging — do not commit secrets.
