Craft logo

A native macOS toolkit of small, sharp utilities — inspired by Microsoft PowerToys, built with SwiftUI.

platform swift ui

Craft lives in your menu bar and gives you a set of focused, hotkey-driven utilities for window management and screen work. Each tool is independent — toggle on what you need, ignore the rest.

Replace these placeholders with real screenshots of the app.

• FancyZones — Define custom layout zones and snap windows into them by dragging. Cycle layouts with ⌥⌘Z.
• Always On Top — Pin any window above the rest. Mirror mode floats a live copy that survives full-screen apps. Hotkey: ⌥⌘W.
• Workspaces — Snapshot the current window layout as a named workspace and restore it later. Relaunches missing apps and repositions everything.
• Crop and Lock — Crop any region of any window into a small live floating thumbnail. Hotkey: ⌘⌃⇧T.

• Color Picker — Sample any pixel and copy as HEX, RGB, or HSL. Hotkey: ⌥⌘C.
• Text Extractor — Drag a rectangle, get the text. Powered by Vision OCR. Hotkey: ⌥⌘T.
• Screen Ruler — Pixel-perfect on-screen ruler with edge snapping. Hotkey: ⌥⌘R.
• ZoomIt — Magnify around the cursor and draw annotations live. Zoom in ⌥⌘=, zoom out ⌥⌘-.

• macOS 13 Ventura or later
• Xcode 15 or later (to build from source)
• Permissions, granted on first use:
  • Accessibility — required for window movement, FancyZones, Always On Top, Workspaces
  • Screen Recording — required for Crop and Lock and Always On Top mirror mode
