- Mac users who annotate and share screenshots
- Worth noticing
- The site distinguishes solid redaction, described as permanent in exports, from blur and pixelation, which it labels cosmetic.
Field notes
The site lays out a shortcut-driven workflow: capture an area, window, screen, or scrolling page, then copy, save, pin, or drag the result into another app. Its editor assigns single-key shortcuts to tools including arrows, text, numbered steps, redaction, blur, pixelation, and OCR. The page says OCR runs on the Mac and cautions that blur and pixelation are cosmetic, while redaction permanently hides material in exports.
