What is macshot?
Free, open-source screenshot & screen recording tool for macOS. Native Swift + AppKit. No Electron. No bloat.
Why macshot?
- Capture & annotate in one flow — select a region, draw arrows/text/shapes/blur, copy to clipboard. One hotkey, zero friction.
- Screen recording with built-in editor — record any area or full screen as MP4/GIF with optional system audio, then trim and export without leaving the app.
- Scroll capture — select a region and scroll. macshot stitches it into one seamless tall (or wide) image automatically.
- Upload anywhere — one-click upload to Google Drive, imgbb, or any S3-compatible service (Cloudflare R2, AWS S3, MinIO, etc.). Link copied to clipboard instantly.
- Lightweight & native — ~8 MB memory at idle. Lives in your menu bar. Built with Swift and AppKit, not a web browser in disguise.
