Hey! I built macshot because the native macOS screenshot tool is too basic and Flameshot, which I loved on Linux, doesn't perform well on Mac. macshot is a fully native macOS screenshot and annotation tool built with Swift and AppKit. That means no Electron, no Qt, and no web views for the UI. It lives in your menu bar and launches instantly with a global hotkey. What you get (all free and open source): - Multi-screen capture with rubber-band selection. - 18 annotation tools: Arrows, shapes, text, pencil, blur, pixelate, numbered markers, a magnifying loupe, and more. - Screen recording: Export to MP4 or GIF with live annotation while recording. - OCR & Translation: Extract text and translate into 30+ languages. - Scroll capture for stitching long pages into one image. - Pin screenshots as floating windows on your desktop. - Auto-redact: One-click concealment of sensitive data like emails, credit cards, and API keys. - Beautify mode: Add gradient backgrounds for polished, social-media-ready shots. - Flexible export: Save as PNG, JPEG, HEIC, or WebP. - Cloud uploads: Send directly to imgbb or Google Drive. No accounts, no subscriptions, and no telemetry. Just download the .dmg or run: > brew install sw33tlie/macshot/macshot You can see macshot in action here: https://x.com/sw33tLie/status/20... I'd love to hear your thoughts and what features you'd like to see next!
