Capture, annotate, record — the missing Mac tool.
The open-source, pay-once answer to CleanShot X: area, window, and scrolling capture, annotation with real redaction, screen recording to MP4 or GIF, on-image OCR, and pin-to-screen. All local, no subscription.
What it does
Hotkey → capture → floating thumbnail → annotate → copy. Instant, Retina-correct, menu-bar native.
Arrows, boxes, numbered steps — and blur/pixelate that actually destroys the pixels underneath.
Screen recording with audio, plus optimized GIFs for bug reports and docs.
Copy text out of any screenshot using the OCR already built into macOS — fully on-device.
Float any capture always-on-top while you work from it. Scrolling capture stitches long pages.
Post-capture actions: save with templates, run a script, trigger Shortcuts. Optional self-hosted uploads — off by default.
