One shortcut. Every capture mode.
CleanShot is always at your fingertips — just like a Swiss Army knife. Choose what to capture, adjust the size, lock the aspect ratio, and retake your last selection in seconds.

Annotate, redact, and polish
Make every screenshot easier to understand. Add precise markup, hide sensitive details, customize the look, and crop everything into shape before you share.
Add arrows, shapes, text, counters, and highlights to make every detail instantly clear.
Hide sensitive information with blur, pixelate, or solid redaction before your screenshot leaves your Mac.
Apply saved presets so every screenshot matches your style or brand.
Crop, resize, and frame your screenshot perfectly before exporting it in the exact format you need.
Save editable CleanShot files so you can come back later and adjust annotations, redactions, and styling.
