Shottr is a tiny (2.3mb dmg) native app optimized for Apple Silicon. It takes only 17ms to grab a screenshot, and ~165ms to show it to you.
Make your screenshots stand out with gradients backgrounds, shadows and rounded corners.
Take a screenshot of a long web page or capture conversation in a chat. Any app, any window.
Hide parts of your screen behind pixelated curtain, or remove sensitive information as if it was never there. Text mode hides text without corrupting anything else.
Came by a text that won’t select? Press a hotkey and select an area — Shottr will parse the text and copy it to the clipboard. OCR feature also reads QR codes.
Take multiple screenshots and put them on the same canvas using the Add Capture button on the toolbar.
Make your screenshots bigger or smaller, right in the app (click on the image size in the upper right corner).
Pin images as floating always-on top borderless windows. Convenient for keeping references, or as a temporary screenshots storage.
Add text, freehand drawings, highlights, spotlights and other visual effects to your drawings.
Paste images on top of your screenshots. Make overlays semi-transparent to highlight the differences, or generate two-frame before/after animations.
Press ↑ or ↓ key and move your mouse to measure vertical size, ← or → for horizontal size. Click to imprint the measurement on the screenshot.
Select a dedicated folder to save screenshots on ⌘ s. Great for purchase receipts, reminders, archive items, random images, etc.
Think of Shottr as your digital magnifying glass. If you need to have a closer look at something, take a screenshot and zoom in.
Take a screenshot, zoom in, move your mouse over the pixel and press the TAB key to copy color under the cursor.
