Description
The built-in macOS screenshot tool stops at capture. Adding an arrow, blurring a password or pulling text out of an image means opening Preview or hunting for an OCR app, and a polished demo video with cursor zooms usually means buying yet another tool. Shotnix lives in the menu bar and covers all of it: screenshots, recording, annotation, pinned screenshots and text extraction in one native app, with no subscription and no account.
The best part is what happens right after a capture. A small overlay lets you drag the shot straight into Finder or Slack, hit ⌘C to copy or ⌘E to edit, or pin it to float above your desktop as a reference. Every capture lands in a history you can search by the text inside the image, so last week's error screenshot is a few keystrokes away.
Every capture mode: Area, single window with optional shadow and transparent padding, fullscreen, all displays, repeat last area, timed countdown, and scrolling capture that stitches a long page into one tall image as you scroll.
Annotation editor: Arrows, rectangles, ellipses, freehand, text callouts, highlighter, spotlight and numbered markers, with adjustable blur and pixelate. Crops stay undoable and annotations stay editable.
Presentation backdrops: Wrap a shot in gradient, aurora, glass or Mac window frame backdrops and tune padding, corner radius and shadow, ready for a post or a doc.
Pin to desktop: Float a screenshot above everything, drag and resize it, and keep it in view while you code or fill in a form.
OCR and code scanning: Select any area to extract text with columns and tables kept in reading order and clickable links, or decode QR, barcodes, Data Matrix, PDF417 and more.
Screen recording: Record an area, window or display to 60 fps MP4 with system audio, microphone and camera, pause or start on a countdown, and recover recordings after a crash.
Video editor: Turn a recording into a demo with cursor-following zooms, a smoothly redrawn cursor, backgrounds, annotations, captions with edit-by-text, music that ducks under your voice, and MP4 or GIF export.
Capture history: Browse every capture in a grid, search by the text inside images, filter by type, and set how long history is kept with its disk usage shown.
