PaneDrop: capture a screenshot and drop it straight into the right Claude Code or Codex session (free public beta)

Hi r/macapps. I'm the developer of PaneDrop, a small menu bar app I built for my own daily workflow. **Problem** I usually run several Claude Code and Codex CLI sessions at once, in tmux, iTerm2 and Ghostty. Every time I wanted to show one of them a screenshot, I had to find the file, find the right window or pane, paste the path, and then check it didn't land in the wrong session. PaneDrop turns that into one step: press Option-Command-4, capture a region, pick the session from a HUD with the arrow keys, press Return. The image path is now in that agent's prompt. It never presses Enter for you unless you turn that on. What works today: * tmux 3.3+ and iTerm2 3.4+: types the path into the pane or session * Ghostty 1.3+: through Ghostty's AppleScript API, otherwise copies the path for you * Terminal.app: finds your sessions, copies the path (it can't type into Terminal.app) * tmux over SSH is planned for 1.0 **Comparison** * **macOS screenshot + drag and drop**: works, but you still have to find the right window and pane yourself, and with four agents open that's where mistakes happen. PaneDrop knows which sessions are running and targets one by name. * **CleanShot X / Shottr**: much better capture and annotation tools than PaneDrop, and I'm not trying to replace them. They don't know about your terminal sessions, so the last step (getting the image into the right agent) is still manual. PaneDrop only does that last step. **Pricing** Free during the public beta ($0). Each beta build expires 90 days after its build date, and a replacement build is published before then.
