What is macshot?
macshot is a native macOS application for taking screenshots and recording the screen. It solves the problem of fragmented workflows by integrating capture, annotation, editing, and sharing into a single, fast tool, offering features like scroll capture, auto-redaction of sensitive information, and OCR without the bloat of Electron-based alternatives.
macOS users who frequently take screenshots or record their screen for work, documentation, tutorials, or communication and want a more powerful, integrated, and privacy-conscious tool than the built-in options.
Developers choose macshot for its native performance, comprehensive feature set that rivals commercial tools, and its commitment to privacy with local processing and no subscriptions, all packaged in a lightweight, menu-bar resident application.
