Everything you need

Built for power users who demand precision and speed

Clipboard + Disk, always

Every capture lands in both places instantly. Paste into Slack or find it filed away later.

Every mode you need

Full screen, area selection, window, custom region, timed — all a hotkey away.

Capture hover states

Press the hotkey and the screen freezes — tooltips, dropdowns, and hover effects are preserved.

Auto-organized

Screenshots sort themselves by date or application. Your Desktop stays clean.

PNG, JPG, WebP

Choose your format. Set JPG quality. Default to WebP for smaller files.

Instant preview

A floating preview appears after capture — click to edit, or drag and drop the thumbnail directly into any app.

Lives in your menu bar

Always one click away, never in the way. Or put it in the Dock — your call.

Free forever

No hidden fees. No subscriptions. No strings attached. You can of course buy me a coffee if you want to support the development.

Scriptable

macsnap-cli capture full --format webp — automate your workflow from the terminal.

Keyboard first

Configurable hotkeys that work everywhere. Customize them to match your workflow.
