Capture
Assign your own shortcuts to each capture — then never think about it again.
Drag exactly what you need. The selection snaps crisp at any zoom.
One click, one window — with its real shadow and rounded corners.
The whole display, exactly as rendered — or cleaner than rendered.
Point at any area and the text lands on your clipboard, OCR’d. About screen OCR →
Float any capture above your work as a reference while you type. About pinning →
Closed the editor too soon? Jump back into your last capture — annotations and undo history intact.
The whole page, not the visible bit. Pick the area, scroll it steadily, and Shotcrisp stitches every screen into one tall, seamless image — even past sticky headers, footers, and sidebars. Whole docs, changelogs, and threads in a single shot. More on scrolling capture →
Annotate
The editor opens the instant you capture — everything is a draggable, undoable object. Tour the editor →
Grab the mid-shaft knob and curve an arrow around anything. Tail pivots on the tip.
Rectangles, ellipses, freehand, labels, and auto-numbered step counters.
Three ways to make something unreadable — all baked into the export.
Gradient backdrops, transparent padding, rounded corners, a window frame — export-ready.
A rotation handle on shapes and text, with snap at the angles you want.
Hover any line in a capture to copy its exact text — or redact it in one click.
Spotlight one region and the rest of the shot blurs — focus without cropping.
Every move, resize, edit, and sweep is one ⌘Z away. Nothing is precious.
Privacy
Drag the handle — same desktop, same moment. The left is the screen; the right is what Shotcrisp captured.
AI agents
Shotcrisp is a built-in MCP server: Claude Code and other AI agents can see your screen through it — and only through your rules.
