Stillpane
A third-party plugin by Yanis Saheb. You capture a window with the stillpane menu bar app. Your next Claude Code message then carries a screenshot and the window's full text. It only attaches a capture that's under two minutes old. Type /stillpane to attach an older one. You need macOS 14 or later and the stillpane app. The app asks for two macOS permissions: Accessibility and Screen Recording. Each capture is a screenshot plus the window's text, and that text can include passwords and tokens. It's saved on your Mac in ~/.claude/stillpane and goes to Claude with your next message. It's deleted after 24 hours. The plugin says its two hooks only touch that folder. The stillpane-install skill downloads the app from GitHub releases, but only after you say yes. We didn't write it and haven't reviewed it.

Install the plugin
Plugins install through Claude Code’s plugin marketplace. Two commands, no files to place by hand.
- 1
Add the marketplace
Run this once in Claude Code. It registers the marketplace this plugin installs from (stillpane), so every plugin in it becomes installable.
/plugin marketplace add yayamaz/stillpane - 2
Install the plugin
Installs this plugin and everything it bundles. Restart Claude Code afterwards so it picks the new skills up.
/plugin install stillpane@stillpane

It helps when you want Claude to see what’s on your screen. Capture a window
with the stillpane menu bar app. Your next Claude Code message then carries a
screenshot and the window’s full text. A capture more than two minutes old is
skipped. Type /stillpane to attach the latest one anyway.
Before you install, know what it does:
- The app needs two macOS permissions: Accessibility (to read a window’s text) and Screen Recording (to take the screenshot).
- Each capture is a screenshot plus the window’s full text. That text can
include anything the window holds, like passwords and tokens, even text you
scrolled past. The capture is saved on your Mac in
~/.claude/stillpane. The app deletes it after 24 hours. Until then, your next message attaches it automatically if it’s under two minutes old. That means Claude, and your model provider, will see it. - It adds two hooks. The plugin says one runs when you send a message and
attaches a recent capture, and never reads your message. It says the other
approves Claude’s file reads inside
~/.claude/stillpaneso a capture opens without a prompt, and does nothing for any other folder. You can check both yourself: hook.sh and allow-read.sh. - One skill,
stillpane-install, downloads the stillpane menu bar app from GitHub releases and installs it in /Applications. It asks you first. It stops if the download is not a notarized build signed by stillpane’s developer ID. - It needs the stillpane app and macOS 14 or later.
- The plugin says it makes no other network calls.
