Screenshots that do the next step for you
Shotsmith captures regions, windows and long pages, lets you mark them up in seconds, and sends them through workflows — OCR, translation, LLMs, scripts — with a single shortcut.
Free to use · macOS 14 Sonoma or later
Features
Capture anything, mark it up fast
Grab a region, a window, or a whole scrolling page, then annotate it in an editor built for keyboard-first speed.
Region, window and scrolling capture
Long pages are stitched into one image, without repeating sticky headers or floating buttons.
Arrows, shapes, text and counters
Every tool has a one-key shortcut. Number steps with counters and hide secrets with mosaic.
Backgrounds and device frames
Drop a screenshot onto a background or into a device frame, ready for docs and social posts.
Keep it in view, find it later
Pin a screenshot above everything while you work, record your screen, and search every shot you took.
Pin to screen
Float a screenshot over other apps. Swipe to change its opacity, lock it, or blur parts of it.
Screen recording with steps
Record, trim, and get a screenshot of each step you clicked through, ready to share as a guide.
History with text search
Text in your screenshots is recognized on your Mac, so you can search for what you saw.
Workflows: the step after the shot
Chain actions on a visual canvas and run them from the editor toolbar or with ⌘1–⌘9. Building is free; running workflows is part of Shotsmith Pro.
OCR, translation, LLMs and more
Recognize text, translate in place, ask a local or cloud LLM, call a webhook, or run a script.
Private by default
Recognition runs on device and data only goes to services you set up, including a local Ollama.
Built for coding agents
The shotsmith command line tool lets Claude Code and other agents create and test workflows for you.
