Real Product Shots

The app is built around the exact moments screenshots need help.

Capture the precise region.

Start with selected-area capture and keep the target area clear before the editor opens.

  • Menu bar capture flow for fast starts.
  • Precise selected regions for product reviews, docs, and QA evidence.
  • No upload step before editing.

Make feedback impossible to miss.

Use numbered callouts, arrows, text, and highlights when the recipient should understand the point at a glance.

  • Numbered markers for step-by-step feedback.
  • Arrows and rectangles for direct visual attention.
  • Text labels when a screenshot needs context.

Hide sensitive information before sharing.

When a screenshot includes names, IDs, customer data, or internal copy, apply mosaic while the surrounding page remains readable.

  • Mosaic private fields locally on your Mac.
  • Keep the rest of the screenshot understandable.
  • Useful for support, dashboards, customer examples, and release notes.

Focus attention on tiny UI details.

Spotlight and magnifier tools help teammates see the exact text, control, or state you are talking about.

  • Dim background noise while keeping the target readable.
  • Magnify small labels, icons, and controls.
  • Great for bug reports and design reviews.

  • Clipboard-ready output for chat, docs, and issues.
  • Save PNGs into your chosen folder.
  • Pin references as floating always-on-top screenshots.
