CleanShot

I've become a great fan of CleanShot to quickly grab screenshots or small videos. I love the annotation tools and some of the small features when capturing video. Something I would love for CleanShot to add are simple "highlight" tools, especially when editing video. For example, I would love it if I could record a video of me using some product and then edit it so that I can add a nice zoom-in at some point to highlight me doing something, then zoom back out, etc. I currently do those kinds of videos with CleanShot + ScreenFlow (or just ScreenFlow), but I feel it could be a lot simpler and I trust CleanShot would do a great job with the UX of that.

It took me a long time to decide to pay for something that is already "free" on my computer, but now that I've been using Cleanshot for weeks I don't have an ounce of regret. The thing I love the most : great annotations tool, floating thumb that don't disappear automatically, and the capture OCR. If you routinely capture around 5 screenshot per day you should try it.

What a useless product. It doesn't even have a library. You're supposed to keep your screenshots on the Desktop or in a folder. Want to go back to that screenshot you did 2 weeks ago? Good luck finding it. Can't believe this is a 4.5/5 product, it is most definitely a 1/5. Use Pixave instead.

The best screenshot tool I've ever used. The OCR feature is so helpful. My favourite case is: take a picture on my phone → open it in cleanshot through universal clipboard → copy text from the picture. The annotate and sreenshot combining is also very helpful.

Cleanshot X is one of my all-time favourite apps and one of the first apps I install on a new machine. I'd highly recommend this to anyone who needs to create visuals of your work to send to clients.
