CleanShot X

Screenshot, annotation and screen recording app for macOS

CleanShot X is a Mac app that replaces the built-in screenshot tools with a richer set of capture options: scrolling captures, screen recording with webcam overlay, GIF export, text recognition and hiding desktop icons. Captures can be annotated, blurred and uploaded to CleanShot Cloud for sharing. It is a paid app, also available through the Setapp subscription.
