Press ⌘⇧2. It already looks designed.
Shottie is a small Mac app for screenshots and screen recordings. Mark them up, set them on a backdrop, and let your clicks turn into smooth zooms. Then paste them anywhere.
From raw capture to ready-to-post, in seconds.
Drag an area or press Space for a window. A thumbnail slides into the corner: drag it into any app, or click it and the editor opens on your favourite backdrop, with padding, rounded corners and a soft shadow already applied. Copy with ⌘ C, and it pastes at full Retina resolution.

Your clicks become the camera.
Press ⌘ ⇧ 8, pick an area, a window or the full screen, and use your Mac as usual. Every click becomes a zoom that eases in just before it happens and follows your cursor after, so viewers always see what you did.

Change any zoom after recording.
Drag a zoom along the timeline, stretch it, set its level, and let it follow your cursor or hold a fixed spot. Split and trim clips, crop the frame, draw arrows, text and blurs that show for as long as you choose, pick a backdrop, and export an MP4 at the recording's own resolution or 480p to 4K. Microphone and system audio come along.

What else it does
Clipboard history
⌘⇧9 brings back the text and images you copied in the last 7 days, kept only on your Mac. It's off until you turn it on, and passwords are never saved.
Backdrops that fit
Mesh and linear gradients, solid colours, your macOS wallpapers or any image, with 16:9, 4:3, 1:1 and 4:5 frames.
Hide what matters
Blur and Cover take care of emails, keys and names in screenshots and recordings before anything leaves your Mac.
Native, not a web page
Built with SwiftUI and ScreenCaptureKit. Universal for Apple silicon and Intel.

What do I need?
A Mac running macOS 15 Sequoia or later, on Apple silicon or Intel.
How much is it?
$29 once, for two Macs, with every Shottie 1 update included. No subscription and no account. If it isn't for you, you get a full refund within 30 days.
What does it ask permission for?
Screen Recording, so it can capture your screen. Microphone and camera only if you turn on narration or the webcam bubble. Shottie explains each before macOS asks.
Does anything get uploaded?
No. There is no account and no cloud. Screenshots go to your clipboard or Desktop, and videos export as MP4 files to your Desktop. The only time Shottie goes online is to activate your license, once per Mac, and to check for updates.
Can I change a zoom after recording?
Yes. Zooms are blocks on the timeline: move them, resize them, change their level, pin their focus, or delete them. You can also add your own.
What formats does it export?
Screenshots as PNG at your display's native resolution. Videos as H.264 MP4 at 60 fps, at the recording's own resolution or anywhere from 480p to 4K, with audio if you recorded it.
