All of it, in one list
No feature matrix, no plan tiers, no "available in Pro". Everything below ships in the same app on macOS 14 Sonoma and later.
Screenshots
12Four capture modes, one overlay to pick between them, and the precision tools you need to hit the right pixels the first time.
Capture area
Drag any region with live pixel dimensions. Hold Space to lock a square.
Capture window
Grab one window with optional padding, a soft shadow, and your wallpaper — or a transparent background.
Capture fullscreen
The entire display in one keystroke.
Scrolling capture
Select a region, press Return, and scroll. Long pages, chat logs, and code get stitched into a single image.
All-in-One overlay
One shortcut that offers every capture mode, including recording.
Crosshair
Guides across the screen so a selection lines up with content.
Magnifier
A loupe with a pixel grid and the colour under the cursor, for pixel-exact edges.
Freeze screen
Press F and the screen holds still, so an open menu or hover state stays put while you select it.
Self-timer
Delay the shot when you need both hands to set it up.
Retake last area
Shoot the same region again without redrawing it.
Scale down Retina
Halve Retina pixels on capture when a 1× file is all anyone needs.
Hide desktop icons
Clear the desktop, and optionally the wallpaper, so a screenshot never leaks your file names.
Screen recording
13Retina-native capture with HEVC or H.264, and every overlay you need to make a walkthrough followable.
Record MP4
⇧⌘R starts an H.264 or HEVC video.
Record GIF
⇧⌘G records straight to GIF, with no conversion step.
Quality presets
Low, Medium, High, and Lossless — from small 1× files to native Retina pixels at maximum quality.
Codec control
Leave it on Auto, or force H.264 or HEVC regardless of the preset.
15, 30, or 60 FPS
Pick the frame rate the content deserves. GIFs are capped lower so the file stays sendable.
System audio
Record what your Mac is playing, in sync with the picture.
Microphone
Narrate while you record. Mic capture requires macOS 15.
Show cursor
Keep or hide the pointer in the file.
Click ripples
Every click gets a visible pulse so it's obvious what you hit.
Keystroke display
Show shortcuts on screen as you press them.
Camera bubble
A webcam circle over the recording, positioned where you want it.
Recording bar
Elapsed time, codec, pause, and stop — and the bar itself stays out of the recording.
Trim
Cut a range and mute a section. Original-quality passthrough avoids re-encoding.
Annotate & edit
14A real editor with the tools you actually reach for, committed straight to the pixels.
Pen
Freehand drawing for circling the thing you mean.
Arrows
Point at exactly one element.
Lines
Straight strokes for underlining or dividing.
Rectangles
Box out a region.
Ellipses
Ring a control or an avatar.
Text
Type a label directly onto the capture.
Highlight
Translucent rounded rectangles that call out copy without hiding it.
Pixelate
Turn a region into blocks — real pixels, not an overlay.
Blur
Soften a region when blocks look too harsh.
Resizable redactions
Handles on every redaction, so a near miss is a drag away.
Spotlight
Dim everything except the area that matters.
Outline Steps
Numbered badges that count up as you place them.
Crop
A rule-of-thirds overlay with corner handles.
Resize
Exact pixel dimensions when a spec calls for them.
Background studio
5Turn a raw screenshot into something that belongs in a changelog, a launch post, or a slide.
11 presets
Gradients and solids that don't fight the content.
Custom image
Use your own artwork or brand backdrop.
Padding
Breathing room around the capture.
Aspect ratio
Frame for the platform you're posting to.
Shadow
Lift the screenshot off the background.
Quick Access overlay
8The corner panel that appears after every capture, so nothing needs to be found in Finder first.
Copy
Straight to the clipboard.
Save
To your capture folder, with the format you chose.
Annotate
Open the editor without leaving the flow.
Drag and drop
Pull the capture into any app that accepts a file.
Pin
Float it above other windows from the overlay.
Share
Upload and copy a link, with live progress and cancel.
Swipe away
Dismiss it with a gesture, then restore it from History.
Hide overlays
⇧⌘U clears every overlay at once for a clean screen.
History & pinning
9Nothing you captured is ever more than a shortcut away.
Capture history
Browse everything you've taken, in the menu bar or a full window.
Type filter
Narrow to images, videos, or GIFs.
Tags
Label captures so you can find them later.
Retention
Keep history for anywhere from 7 to 90 days.
Shared markers
History and the menu bar mark captures that already have a link.
Pin above windows
Keep a reference shot on top while you work from it.
Pin opacity
Fade a pin so it doesn't dominate.
Arrow-key nudge
Move a pin a pixel at a time.
Lock and click-through
Freeze a pin in place and let clicks pass to the app underneath.
Text recognition
3Get text off the screen and into your clipboard without retyping it.
Copy text from any image
Select a region and the text lands on your clipboard.
QR codes
Decode a code to its payload instantly.
On device
Recognition runs on your Mac. Nothing is uploaded to read it.
macOS integration
6The details that make it feel like part of the system.
Menu bar app
Lives in the menu bar with recent captures one click away.
Global shortcuts
Every action has a hotkey, and every hotkey can be remapped.
Launch at login
One toggle and it's always ready.
Multi-display aware
Capture and overlays follow the screen you're working on.
Native frameworks
SwiftUI and ScreenCaptureKit, targeting macOS 14 and later.
No account
No sign-in, no license server, nothing phoning home.
Your next screenshot could be a lot better.
Build it once, keep it in the menu bar, and stop thinking about where your captures went.
