Key Features

Flexible Capture

Capture the full display, a selected region, or a specific window from a shortcut-first workflow. Multi-display selection, hover-state preservation, and customizable hotkeys help you grab the exact moment.

Screen Recording

Record the full display, a region, or a window with system audio, microphone input, and flexible MP4, MOV, or GIF export. GIF resolution and FPS controls keep recordings share-ready.

OCR & Calculation OCR

Extract text from any screen area, or capture a math expression and let Calculation OCR evaluate it, format the result, and copy it to the clipboard. OCR runs fully on-device with Apple Vision.

Powerful Annotations

Explain screenshots with arrows, shapes, rich text, highlights, freehand strokes, pixelation, and standalone number badges. A mini context toolbar, Shift/Option modifiers, and copy/paste support speed up repeat edits.

Crop, Pixelate & Refine

Crop screenshots with a rule-of-thirds guide, hide sensitive details with mosaic pixelation, rename captures from the editor title, and pin the editor above other windows while you work.

Fast Workflow

Move smoothly from capture to clipboard, save location, share sheet, or history. Batch history operations, user-chosen save folders, and PNG, JPEG, TIFF, GIF, MP4, and MOV outputs keep the workflow flexible.
