About Circo

A faster way to act on what you see.

Built for Windows 10 and 11.

Circo is an independent app for circling part of your screen, then searching, copying, or translating it.

Why it exists

The screen should feel less like a dead end.

When a picture, video, scan, or app will not let you select what matters, Circo gives you one familiar gesture and a small set of clear choices.

Press Alt + C, draw a circle or box, and choose the next step. The shortcut is customizable.

Product principles

Simple on the surface. Honest underneath.

Circo explains what each action does and where the selected information goes.

01

One clear gesture

Circle an object or draw a box around text. The interaction stays recognizable wherever you use it.

02

Few useful choices

Search a picture, copy text, or translate words. Circo does not fill the pill with unfinished ideas.

03

Visible boundaries

Text recognition happens on your PC. Online actions say which service receives the crop or text you selected.

04

Real product status

The current installer is unsigned, audio recognition is disabled, and team controls are discussed honestly rather than shown as fake features.

Clear roles
