Dipshot is a lightweight macOS menu bar app for capturing and annotating screenshots. Add arrows, text, shapes, and callouts, then export clean, polished visuals — all without breaking your flow.
Hey Product Hunt! 👋
I'm the maker of Dipshot — a macOS menu bar app that turns plain screenshots into beautiful, share-ready visuals.
The idea came from a simple frustration: every time I wanted to share a screenshot — for a tweet, a changelog, or a product update — it looked boring and raw. I'd have to jump into Figma or another tool just to wrap it in a nice background. That breaks the flow completely.
With Dipshot, you capture your screen and instantly get a polished result with a customized background — gradients, solid colors, wallpapers — right from your menu bar. No context switching, no extra apps.
Perfect for:
- Developers sharing project progress
- Indie makers posting on social media
- Anyone who wants their screenshots to look intentional and professional
This is v1, and I'd love your feedback. What backgrounds or customization options would make this a must-have for you? 🙏
Capture and annotate tools look simple but the ones that actually stick are the ones where the gap between taking the screenshot and having a shareable, marked-up version is less than 10 seconds. What's the export flow look like for Dipshot? The format and whether annotations are preserved as a layer vs flattened matters depending on whether the output is going into a deck, a Notion page, or a dev handoff file.

Congrats @abduns on the launch! I like the menu bar approach. How you handle batch processing when you need to annotate multiple screenshots at once?
This is the tool I didn't know I needed. I constantly take screenshots for changelogs and documentation and the extra step of jumping into Figma to wrap them properly always breaks the flow. Having it come out polished with custom backgrounds right from the menu bar is the right level of friction reduction for this kind of task.

Nice and practical keeping everything in the menu bar and not breaking flow is a big win for this kind of tool curious how it compares speed wise to the built in screenshot tools
