I built sshpic because local screenshots stop at the SSH boundary

Short summary

sshpic enables developers to paste local Mac screenshots into remote SSH terminal sessions via Cmd+V, eliminating the screenshot→scp→paste-path workflow for coding agents. The tool transfers images over SSH only (no cloud), inserts remote paths into iTerm2, and prioritizes privacy with restrictive permissions. First release targets Mac + iTerm2 + SSH, with an open warning about sensitive data in screenshots.

  • •Tool lets you Cmd+V local screenshots directly into remote SSH sessions in iTerm2
  • •SSH-only transfer (no cloud upload), remote path auto-inserted for terminal coding agents
  • •Privacy-focused: Mac + iTerm2 + SSH only, with security warning about screenshot contents
