Snap by Chillss
Screenshots that
get to the point.
Freeze a detail, mark it up, and paste or drag it straight into your work. Snap is a native Mac menu bar app for screenshots, image annotation and video-only screen recording.
Snap in motionAN ILLUSTRATED WALKTHROUGH / 12 SEC
Seven tools within reach.
Choose a tool to see it on the same dispatch note. Try Zoom to enlarge the item code, or Blur to cover the contact address.
MARKUP PRACTICE / SAMPLE CAPTURE
Point to a single detail.
Draw an arrow from the margin to the item you want someone to check.
Show exactly what you mean.
Screen recording
Catch the bug in motion.
Select the area where it happens. Pause while you get to the next step, then resume. When you stop recording, drag the video from its corner preview into a message.
Text recognition
Skip the retyping.
Copy a product code or a line of text from a capture. Snap recognizes the text on your Mac and puts the selection on your clipboard, ready to paste.
Show the whole sequence.
Record video of a selected region, or start a whole-display recording under the pointer. The red outline marks the recording area. Pause freezes the timer and turns the outline dashed orange. Resume picks up where you left off.
