ScreenshotX

Shottr is a lightweight, high-speed screenshot utility for macOS designed to take quality screen captures and edit them with precision while staying out of your way. It captures screenshots in milliseconds and supports a full range of screenshot types including single windows, selected areas, and long scrolling captures of web pages or chats, all natively optimized for Apple silicon performance. Once captured, images open immediately in an intuitive editor where you can add text, freehand drawings, highlights, arrows, and other annotations, blur or remove sensitive areas, overlay images, and style backgrounds with gradients, shadows, and rounded corners. Shottr includes built-in OCR that recognizes and copies text and QR codes from images, a screen ruler for accurate measurements, a zoom tool for pixel-level inspection, and a color picker for exact color selection. It also lets you combine multiple captures on one canvas, and pin screenshots as always-on-top references.

SimplyShot is a macOS application for capturing screenshots and recording the screen. It captures areas, windows, full screens, and scrolling pages, with tools for annotation, highlighting, sensitive-information redaction, and adding backgrounds, padding, and shadows. On-device text recognition helps users copy or select text in captures, while searchable local history and editable projects make it easier to find and continue work. Video recording can include system and microphone audio, a camera bubble, click effects, and keystrokes, with exports as video or GIF. Studio supports editing cuts and automatic zooms, adding backgrounds, creating captions locally, and exporting SRT files. Users can pin screenshots above other windows or upload captures to their own S3-compatible storage. The app is designed for Mac users creating annotated images, tutorials, demonstrations, and walkthroughs, and requires macOS 14.6 or later.
