@bowett Have you moved/copied the Zappy app in your Application folder? You should be able to double-click on it then (Finder > Applications > Zappy) and it will appear in your menubar on top.

@bowett@leo_at_zapier same problem on my computer even after moving it to the application folder
Report
@leo_at_zapier Thanks for the reply. Yes I did try that, same result. I can see it in Activity Monitor but it never opens and is stuck at no CPU and same memory. So it looks like it starts but crashes early on and doesn't terminate properly.
@bowett@etienne_dayer1 I'd suggest completely moving Zappy and try again. I did a quick check to see which locations it's creating files and was able to find them here: https://really.iamno.pro/12uyxxXx
Feel free to tag me again if that doesn't help :)
Hey Product Hunt π Mike here, Head of Labs and co-founder at Zapier.
We know remote work comes with new challenges. Over the last 8+ years, we've grown Zapier to 300+ employees across 17 time zones. And along the way, we've discovered effective ways to collaborate without an office.
Zappy is a cornerstone tool that increases the bandwidth of our team's communication. It's an all-in-one screen-capture app that we built ourselves. You can use it to annotate screenshots, make GIFs, and record your screen in fewer steps than with most built-in tools.
Since a lot of the world is suddenly working remotely, weβre releasing a public version of Zappy for free. We've found it to be an invaluable tool for sharing images in Slack, emails, and everywhere else. We hope Zappy helps you and your team move faster, even when youβre not in the same location.
Zappy is still in early access, so there might be some rough edges to smooth out. We're also working on features like:
- Self-hosted storage via Amazon S3
- Capture retention + access settings
- A Zapier integration :-)
A bonus for paid Zapier customers: Auto-uploads to the cloud. We host those uploads and add a link to your clipboard automatically. It's great for markdown or adding text links to tutorials.
We hope you like it, and if you have any feedback, let us know!

@mikeknoop love it! Was just recommending cloudapp to a family member at dinner last night as she was looking for exactly this. Zappy looks cleaner and more simple though - with that, any plans for Windows/Chrome Extension?
Keep up the awesome work!
Hey all, Mirko here from Blackbelt Labs who co-built Zappy with Mike and the Zapier team. From all the apps we've built over the years, Zappy is the one that gets by far my most personal usage. Excited to get this out publicly and looking forward to feedback from early access users!
I've been using Zappy over a year internally. It definitely is one of my favorite tools we use at Zapier. A fast screenshot tool is necessary for remote teams and Zappy is by far the fastest I have used.
I feel like this is the result of one of those moments where someone at Zapier didn't like the existing solutions (although there are very good solutions (CleanShot 2.0, Xnip, etc), and thought they could build their own, started using it internally, and then thought "we should release this".
DOA for me since it requires a paid Zapier account to use at all.
@chrismessina for clarity, Zappy does not require a paid Zapier account, it stores captures locally for free. That said, If you log in with a paid Zapier account we'll host the captures which makes sharing faster.

A really important and useful tool for product managers. Capture a screenshot, annotate it really quickly and share it on Slack. Even if you are not remote, still a really useful tool!
