- [ScreenVerb](https://softbests.com/software/screenverb): People who capture screenshots to explain, translate, or summarize something and want the answer at the cursor. (Paid; macOS, iOS)

## How to choose

- Start with the platform you actually use. A native Mac editor and a browser IDE solve different problems.
- Match the workflow, not the feature list. If agents write most of your code, pick the tool whose agent loop you can supervise.
- Check the real price after the trial. One-time licenses and subscription tiers age very differently.
