When you open Lace, it automatically reads what’s on your screen. You don’t need to screenshot, copy-paste, or explain what you’re looking at — Lace already knows.

Automatic capture

Every time you open the overlay or send a message, Lace takes a snapshot of your active screen. Your question and your screen travel together, so the AI responds with full awareness of what you’re working on.

Manual capture

Want to focus on a specific area? Use the screen capture tool to draw a selection box around exactly what you want Lace to look at. The selected region becomes part of your message. Press Escape to cancel a selection in progress.

What Lace can read

Lace doesn’t just look at pixels. It reads text, identifies buttons and links, understands page structure, and recognizes which app you’re in. This works across any application on your Mac — browsers, design tools, spreadsheets, terminals, and more. This means you can ask things like:
  • “What does this error mean?” while looking at a terminal
  • “Summarize this page” while reading an article
  • “What’s the total in this column?” while viewing a spreadsheet

Overlay

Press ⌘O to toggle the screen context overlay. This shows the UI elements Lace has detected on your screen — helpful for understanding exactly what Lace can see. In Settings, you can toggle “Show all overlays” to display every detected element instead of the filtered view.
