Screen Capture apps: 7

Confectionery

A web browser that shows the bare minimum — the address and the content — so you can have nice, clean screen captures.

Flameshot

Customizable cross-platform app allows you to do in-app editing with built-in tools, and upload screenshots directly to the cloud to share with others.

Macshot

Features include global hotkey, annotations, scroll capture, screen recording, smart censor, gradient backgrounds, text extraction, and one-click upload.

QuickRecorder

Record screens, windows, apps and more, including sounds from any app. A presenter overlay feature is available in macOS 14.

Scrollsnap

Select a capture region, then stitch screenshots of long content into a single image. Draggable menu has options to capture, save, modify capture region, or cancel.

TRex

Copy text or URLs to your clipboard from anywhere — PDFs, images, videos, screenshots, Zoom calls — with OCR technology. Free but you can support with an Mac App Store purchase.

Viz

Capture text from images, videos, QR codes and barcodes. Choose from 14 OCR languages. Includes a colour picker for hex and RGB.
