MacShot 4.4.0 for Mac
Mac UtilitiesMacShot is a free and open source screenshot and screen recording app for Mac that lives in your menu bar. It goes well beyond the built in capture shortcuts, which makes it handy for support staff, developers, teachers and anyone who shares screenshots many times a day.
Features
- Capture an area, a window or the full screen with hotkeys
- Take scrolling screenshots that stitch long pages into one image
- Annotate captures with arrows, text, shapes, blur and pixelation
- Record the screen as video or as a GIF
- Run OCR on a capture and translate the text it finds
- Upload captures to a host you choose, or keep everything local
How to Download
MacShot is distributed through its official website and its public code repository, and it costs nothing to download. Download from the official site, open the disk image and drag MacShot into your Applications folder. On first launch macOS will ask you to grant screen recording permission in System Settings.
