CleanShot X is the ultimate screen capturing app for macOS. With its rich toolkit, it feels like 6 apps in one. You can use it to swiftly capture your screen without desktop icons, record and trim video, annotate, save screenshots to our cloud, and much more.

I posted this in a mac group I run, and got a bunch of feedback like: Native can do 90% of this This is like skitch? pass. So I wrote a quick breakdown of why this is (to me) better than the native flow, which I love, and use every day: 1) I use the cmd+shift 4 flow every day, then I hold control to get it into the clipboard I can't edit the snapshots quickly like that. If I don't hold control, I can edit the screenshot, but then I can't put it back into clipboard, nor can I drag it out, so have to save. This is context switching, and is bad. 2) Editing on native is super limited and annoying. There's no easy arrowing, no numbering, and most importantly, no blurring / pixelating of sensitive info. You can only use like rectangles and stuff, and they are by default just black. You color choice isn't saved between sessions. 3) Sharing is horrible, like what is this? Why can't I share to slack? We're in 2020, this is stupid. I can on ios, but can't here? 4) No gifs. Gifs are essential, and there's no gifs. I use Gifox, and other tools, and they all have their issues as well. 5) Being able to drag the actual screenshot is super useful, not all places can get a paste from clipboard, and more places accept a draggable asset. 6) Cloud built in? I use dropbox and it has a feature wherein you can save screenshots to there, and you get the link immediately. But this has the same for gifs, images and videos? (I think, haven't checked) And did I mention the pixelation? I really really need pixelation.

Just bought this. The Scrolling Capture feature is worth it by itself. Well done!

Super super excited for this new, expanded version of CleanShot! The scrolling capture alone is worth the price of admission (I'd been using Xnip for this previously).

I just bought this based on all the recommendations here. So far so good, but I found one thing disappointing: turns out the cloud service only saves your screenshots for 30 days. Would have been nice to know before purchasing.
Eric Anderson
This the best screenshot tool you'll ever use. Period. I cancelled my Droplr subscription today because of this app.
Jorn van Dijk
Awesome product, bought it straight away. Is GIF and video uploading supposed to work? That’s what the video suggests but can’t find the option.
Luke Oslizlo
@jornvandijk Sorry, the free plan offers only screenshot uploading for now.

This is looking great! Just purchased the license without really trying it out properly. One question: I like to install all apps with brew cask but I cannot find your app there. Could you add it so that it can be installed and managed via brew?
Abhinav Chhikara
As someone who takes hundreds, sometimes thousands of screenshots of apps every week for UI Sources, I can't wait to try this out! Just purchased a license
Luke Oslizlo
@abnux You will love this for sure! πŸ€“

Cleanshot X is awesome utility. I bought it because one pain with native screenshot where it forced me to save before i share somewhere. Native screenshot was making my desktop clutter. But then later, Cleanshot keep impressing with their additional capabilities. Annotate tool much better. Copy and put it directly in Slack. It makes my work much easier in remote environment to communicate things with better context. Keep rocking Cleanshot X Team!
Aaron Hanson
Just purchased! Curious - are there plans for custom domain uploads in the future?
Luke Oslizlo
@crixlet yes! It’s on our to-do list and should be done soon

@lukaszmtw Congratulations! Very exciting improvements. What will happen with CleanShot users via Setapp?

@lukaszmtw I can't imagine a day without CleanShot ever since I've started using it. It's super fast to quickly take a screenshot, highlight changes, and share with my team via slack, hangouts, or email. Such a time saver. Capturing the Gif is super cool. I used to use dropbox in order to store these Gifs. Now the X version took care of that, and that's Awesome! I bet everyone should have it. 🀟🏻
Jason
Easily a top ten most used app for me. I use it multiple times a day and it delights me nearly as often (especially when paired with PixelSnap).
Brandon Hull
Awesome update. I jumped from Cloud App to Cleanshot sometime back and missed the cloud capability along with a couple minor niceties. This bridges the gap. Upgraded to X. Great job guys.
Craig Paterson
Awesome update, and the addition of the cloud storage makes it even better. A no brainer upgrade.
Ryan Clarke
It's perfectly discreet...perfectly feature rich...perfectly clean and organized. Well done team CleanShot X!

There's so much opportunity in the space of taking Mac OS features and 10x-ing them. What's hard is the execution. The new CleanShot goes above and beyond its predecessor in terms of finesse and thoughtfulness. Best $29 you'll spend this month.
Luke Oslizlo
@shawnroos Thanks a lot Shawn! πŸ™Œ

I wish it captured system audio when recording video..
Luke Oslizlo
@jonbstrong To record a system audio, you can use another app like Loopback and select it as an input in CleanShot.

@lukaszmtw What an amazing powerful product. I've been interested in screenshots for a while, it seems like a new medium for communication. I even wrote an article on it https://medium.com/@SamuelBeek/t.... Your tools seems to have tackled a lot of my frustrations and ideas for taking and sending screenshots on the desktop. I was wondering what next steps are: Where is this product moving, will it be more of a utility or a platform around screenshots? will you make more communication features or capture ones?
Deyson Ortiz
Can I use this tool to replace Jumpshare? Thank you :)
