Add your camera
A webcam bubble so people see you, not just the screen.
Native for macOS 14
There are average capture apps. And there's Snappyshot.
The Mac-native toolkit for screenshots, recordings, and sharing. Capture from the menu bar. Store links on a bucket you already own.

On a real Mac
The product, in motion.
Always one drag away
Capture something and it's instantly ready to share. Copy it, save it, annotate it, or drop it straight into any app. No folders to dig through, no flow to break.
- Copy, save, annotate, pin, share
- Drag into Slack, Mail, Figma, or a browser
- Upload progress on the overlay itself
- Restore the last overlay from History
Screen recordings worth sharing
Record your screen in a few clicks, then export a polished MP4 or a quick GIF. Cursor, clicks, keystrokes, camera, and audio are already built in.
Highlight every click
Click ripples make actions easy to follow in a recording.
Show keystrokes
Overlay shortcuts and key presses while you record.
Voice and system audio
Microphone on macOS 15+, plus system audio in sync.
MP4 or GIF
Record crisp video or a quick looping GIF.
Trim in place
Range, mute, and quality without exporting to another app.
Make your point, fast
Mark up details, hide sensitive information, add a background, and crop when needed. All without leaving Snappyshot.
Markup
Pen, highlight, arrows, counters, spotlight, and text.
Redact
Pixelate or blur anything that should not leave your Mac.
Add background
Ten studio presets, padding, aspect, and auto-balance.
Crop
Cut the frame down before you copy, save, or share.

Share on storage you own
Connect anything that speaks S3, or POST to your own endpoint. Snappyshot copies a public URL or a signed link that expires. Without a bucket, links fall back to this Mac on the local network.

Scrolling Capture
Capture full pages, long chats, documents, and code that stretch beyond your screen, all in one clean screenshot.
- Select a region, then Return to stitch the rest
- Works for content that runs past the display
Background Studio
Turn a raw grab into a polished visual with padding, shadows, and the same mint, dusk, and paper backgrounds Snappyshot ships with.
- Ten built-in presets plus a custom image
- Padding, aspect, and auto-balance
Text Recognition
Copy text from the screen, or read a QR payload, in seconds. Recognition stays on-device — it never leaves your Mac.
- Copy text from any selected region
- Read QR codes instantly
- Fast and private by design
Built for everyday Mac workflows
Capture History
Never redo a screenshot or recording. Filter by image, video, or GIF, tag, and restore an overlay.
Pin screenshots
Keep a shot above other windows. Opacity, nudge, lock, and click-through.
Hide desktop icons
Icons away, optional wallpaper, notifications paused — then everything returns.
Truly Mac-native
A SwiftUI menu bar extra. No cross-platform compromise, no dock window to manage.
Make it yours
Shortcuts, self-timer, freeze, Retina scale-down, and after-capture actions.
Designed for macOS
Requires macOS 14. Camera, microphone, and accessibility only if you use those options.
Loved by Mac users
From real desks, in real workflows.
Designers, support, docs, and founders using Snappyshot the way it was built — capture, mark up, record, and share to a bucket they already own.
“Capture, annotate, and drag the overlay straight into Figma. The shot never has to hit a folder first.”
Mina Chen
“Bug reports land with arrows, counters, and a redacted login. Support stops guessing what people meant.”
Andre Wells
“Scrolling capture stitches a whole article in one PNG. Changelog shots finally match the page.”
Helen Park
“Links go to the S3 bucket we already pay for. No hosted cloud tax, and signed URLs expire when we say.”
Rahul Iyer
“Pin two captures over a PR and compare. Opacity and click-through keep the rest of the desktop usable.”
Sofia Alvarez
“⇧⌘T copies text or a QR payload on-device. Shortcuts stay in the muscle memory I already have.”
Omar Haddad
Shortcuts, ready to learn
Space locks a square. F freezes. Return starts a scrolling capture after you select a region.
