Hello guys! I am the one who built Shottr. This posting came out unplanned (very much so, haha), apologies for not jumping in sooner. To be honest, I wouldn't put Shottr as a general purpose screenshot tool. I created it as a workhorse for pixel-professionals: designers, UI developer and the like. It's strong suit is precision and speed, it's killer feature is zoom, it's target audience – people who prefer hotkeys over buttons and efficiency over fluffiness of the UI. I'm very perceptive to the feedback, any ideas or suggestions you might have — I'm listening! Cheers, Max

@ffitch Love the app and I definitely want to support your efforts. A few questions/suggestions/options... 1. Is there any chance of being able to write over screenshots with a freehand writing/drawing tool? 2. Unless I'm overlooking something, it appears that I am unable to copy and paste another picture into the screenshot annotator, nor can I take two screenshots and combine them into a single shot in the editor. Thanks for reading and keep up the great work!

I've been using Shottr for a while now and I'm loving it! The feature that can automatically scroll the page is a killer for me. I have been in touch with the creator on Reddit, amazing guy. I guess amazing people deliver amazing products!

@itkosarkas @shottr_cc @qaplen ah, go it. To be honest I don't have a personal twitter account : ) I should probably create one, never got around to do it.

Came across Shottr today and it looks really great. With scrolling capture a great alternative to CleanShot X. Optimised for M1 and completely free.

@maria_brm thank you! It’s purely static screenshots. I’ve heard https://Gifox.io is great for screen recordings (didn’t try myself, but it looks so sexy it can’t be bad, haha)

Can we use this tool to blur certain components while using another tool for video recording/screen sharing in a meeting?

Love this app, and is now a fundamental part of my workflow as product manager. So many nice functionalities, lightweight and well designed. Last update introduced some new stuff that make the app even more amazing

Review Shottr?

Reviewers see Shottr as a fast, lightweight Mac screenshot tool that fits easily into daily work. They repeatedly praise its simple UI, stability, and ability to combine capture, annotation, pixel checking, colors, long-page screenshots, frames, and quick sharing in one place, which saves time and reduces app switching. Several say it beats the built-in Mac screenshot flow for practical use. Criticism is limited but specific: some prefer CleanShot’s UI, and a few want more advanced workflows like screenshot history, OCR, AI edits, transparent highlights, and broader cloud storage integrations.

Even though this product launched on Product Hunt 4 years ago, Shottr is still one of my favorite tools today.

And honestly, that says a lot. Especially considering how much macOS itself improved screenshot tooling over the years. I still use Shottr almost every single day.

There are 3 features I especially love:

Fast annotations and markups
The ability to quickly draw, highlight, blur, add arrows, and instantly copy the result is incredibly useful. It removes friction from communication completely.
Frames
I regularly use Shottr frames for screenshots in Telegram posts and presentations. This is a surprisingly important feature because it combines two workflows inside one tool:
– fast screenshot + annotation
– visual presentation and styling
Cloud sharing links
This is actually why I bought the paid version. The ability to instantly upload and share screenshots via link is extremely convenient and became part of my daily workflow very quickly.
