LittleSnapper allows you to take screenshots of an entire webpage, or specific portions of your screen in general, without cluttering your desktop with a ton of icons. It then organizes those snaps into a library where you can tag, rate and comment them.
It also comes with some built-in vector tools that allow you to mark up your images with text, callouts, shapes, lines, arrows, blurs and highlighting. Best of all, the annotations are all non-destructive allowing you to hide and show them at a moment's notice.
Then share the snaps with your clients colleagues and
What's New
Version 1.8.2:
Library view no longer scrolls to the very bottom on Mac OS X Lion.
This app, being one of the leading ones in this niche, slowly falls behind the today's needs.
1. Bad screenshot sharing options.
Beside Flickr -- which is not the best place for it -- there's only an FTP. And by the way, if I only have Flickr (or FTP) set up for sharing, I still have to click twice because of that stupid pop-up menu.
2. No syncing.
Sure, you can put the library file into your dropbox folder. But, say you have a library, which is 1 GB in size. You place it in dropbox folder and after 2 days it finally completed syncing. But then you take a new screenshot and now dropbox has to re-sync the whole library package (which is 1 GB, remind you) all over again.
Little Snapper plays an essential role in my workflow. The greatest feat is the way it handles simple libraries of inspiration, reference, moodboards or whatever material you need to store someplace.
It has all the standard mechanisms for tagging and smart listing stuff, so you can be very flexible about how to organize the images. Either just drop them in a folder, or if you're the tagging kind, don't place it anywhere but instead tag it with useful meaning.
The notes field for every image helps me keep track of their source and also write annotations as needed.
The rating system is very useful for narrowing down on candidate options.
A great thing is that all the images you gather won't clutter your filesystem, but instead stays nicely tucked away inside a monolith .lslibrary file.
The only complaints I have are twofold:
1) I want to be able to drag an image from my browser and have it directly placed in the current folder I'm looking at.
2) I want to be able to draw freehand strokes in the annotations department.
I agree with the comments below asking for some constructive updates. What I'd like to see is some more control or flexibility for snapping the whole of a web page.
"Rapidweaver" and "Courier" (also from RealMac) both support MobileMe so it's not like they'd have to program support from scratch. Users have been requesting it on their forums for years, and still this feature request goes ignored.
Can't download newest upgrade from MacUpate for some reason nor from the developer's website. When I tried VersionTracker I also had problems but was able to get software downloaded only to find out it was the version I had. The App Store does not show it as purchased when I know it was. Very frustrating.
Love the app but wonder why the unprocessed count still goes out of alignment every-time i open a folder? Surely its not that difficult to fix this ........

Then share the snaps with your clients colleagues and friends. To make that possible, we've built in support for Flickr, image exports, FTP, SFTP and our own webservice especially for LittleSnapper users: QuickSnapper.
