Comments and Reviews

   
Comment summary: Shottr earns strong praise as a fast, lightweight, subscription-free macOS screenshot tool that improves on the native utility. Users value annotation and editing tools, keyboard shortcuts, OCR, scrolling captures, and the choice to copy images or save them—especially for sharing in Slack. One user reported scrolling capture failing in Firefox, while another wished it were open source. It is also considered a strong CleanShot X alternative.

Shottr replaced my default Mac screenshot tool about an hour after I installed it. built-in annotation, scrolling captures, either save or copy in memory, then paste in Slack... So handy! it does what you'd expect plus a few things you didn't know you needed. Fast, lightweight, no subscription. Not much else to say.

Much better than native Mac screenshot feature. It’s lightweight and easy to use. Love the editing tool using keyboard shortcuts to like b for blur and a for arrow. Super intuitive.

The app actually so good I sometimes use it to edit images that come from other sources. Blurring, erasing, cropping are really comfy to use. I also like this feature that once you make a screenshot, you can either put it into the buffer for copying or save on the drive (most often, I make screenshots to send them in Slack).
