About macshot
macshot captures a region or the full screen and opens it in an annotation editor with arrows, text, shapes and blur, plus automatic redaction of personal data, OCR with translation, and image beautification. Scroll capture stitches a long page into a single image.
Screen recordings can be saved as MP4 or GIF with system audio and microphone, then trimmed in a built-in editor. Captures can also be uploaded to Google Drive, imgbb or S3-compatible storage.
