screenshot_float — Always-on-Top Screenshot Overlay for macOS

Take an interactive screenshot and float it as a click-through, always-on-top overlay pinned to the bottom-right corner. Useful for referencing something while you work.

How it works

  1. Cmd+4 triggers screenshot_float.sh — gives you the macOS crosshair to select a region
  2. The selection is displayed as a borderless, transparent, floating window via PyObjC
  3. The window is fully click-through — it never steals focus or interferes with your work
  4. Cmd+5 triggers kill_floats.sh to dismiss all floating screenshots

create video from images / text

Create Slideshow Videos from Images, Text, and Video Clips

A Python script + system integration that lets you select files in your file explorer, right-click, and generate a combined slideshow video. Each image is shown for a configurable duration, text files are rendered as white-on-black slides, and video clips are re-encoded and stitched in seamlessly.

What it does

  1. You select files (images, .txt/.md files, video clips) in Finder/Explorer
  2. Right-click and run the quick action
  3. It prompts you for "seconds per image"
  4. Outputs a single .mp4 combining everything in order

applescript to make small app to make Textedit file in front Finder window

In this applescript, you can select an app in your Finder window which will create a new Textedit file into the folder that is open in your front Finder window. It will use Terminal to copy a Textedit file from a specific directory that you specify to your front Finder window. In this script, I have the Textedit file in a folder called dont_delete in my home folder.

When you run this script for the first time need to set up the Textedit file and need to change "username" to your home folder name. Save this script as an app in Script Editor and drag the app to a shortcut slot in the Finder window.
