Hi HN,

I built PastScreen because I was tired of taking screenshots of code bugs and losing the context (which file? which line?).

The app works like a standard screenshot tool but detects if you are capturing from a dev environment (VSCode, Zed, Cursor, Xcode). If so, it automatically grabs the file path and line number, putting them into your clipboard alongside the image.

It’s fully native (Swift).

The code is open source here on GitHub. If you want the convenience of auto-updates and signing (or just want to support me), it's available on the Mac App Store for the price of a coffee: https://apps.apple.com/fr/app/pastscreen/id6755425479

Feedback is welcome, especially on the file path detection logic!
