Screenshot capture with annotation on Mac
1Capture-Screenshot is a macOS utility for taking area, window, and full-screen captures, then annotating and sharing them without leaving a polished editing workflow.
Capture modes and editing
Start capture from the menu bar or a customizable shortcut, then select an area, window, or full screen. The annotation toolbar covers remarks, shapes, mosaics, highlighters, stickers, and quick notes designed for feedback and tutorials. Horizontal and vertical scrolling capture helps with long web pages and documents that do not fit on one screen.
- Designers: beautify backgrounds and export polished screenshots for presentations.
- Support teams: pin captures to the desktop and use OCR to copy text from UI shots.
- Creators: record screen activity and export GIFs for demos and social posts in 1.8.0.
Beyond basic screenshots
Built-in OCR, a color picker, text watermarks, and pin-to-desktop mode extend what macOS screenshots offer out of the box. Custom workflows, a drag-and-drop shelf, and options to save as WebP or copy without exiting edit mode support repeat daily use. An AI erase tool runs on-device on Apple Silicon Macs for removing unwanted objects from captures.
Licensing and platform
The app is free to download with a 7-day trial and optional lifetime in-app purchase; the vendor states paid users receive free upgrades. Privacy documentation indicates no data collection from the app itself.
1Capture-Screenshot 1.8.0
Version 1.8.0 requires macOS 12.3 or later, supports Intel and Apple Silicon, and adds screen recording, three click-animation styles, and GIF recording alongside a fix for save-related crashes documented in the official changelog.
