    Snipaste vs ShareX Comments

    It provides many of the same options and functionality, is lightweight, user-friendly (which is sadly rare nowadays - you get either Kindergarten-level UI or one that resembles the cockpit of a B1 Stealth Bomber) and finally has certain features that even ShareX, my favorite screenshot application, lacks! Summarily, I'd say it's on average 75% feature-compatible with ShareX, Greenshot and similar programs.

    Kap is the best alternative to ShareX i've managed to find on Mac, even though it's a little barebones. but for now it does what i need to, which is do screen recordings with actual device audio (looped through blackhole) looking forward to whatever the Kap team decides to add in the future, keep up the good work
