Clarify provides a hassle-free way of turning screenshots into beautiful documents in five minutes or less.
Many screen capture applications let you work with one picture at a time. But combining multiple screenshots into clear documents is a pain. It's such a pain that most of us don't take the time to do it, even though we KNOW our clients, co-workers and friends would like us to use more pictures when we are trying to help them.

My only request would be the ability to make images in the document clickable, perhaps taking the user to a different page with a zoomed in view (so the user can see both the reason why the screenshot was taken, and the context surrounding that screenshot).
Honestly though, it's damn near perfect for my needs.

Before discussing the actual software - the developer is very responsive to questions. And, most importantly the licensing model is perfect and very fair from a cost perspective.
The application itself is a little different from a traditional screenshot program - e.g. SnagIt, which I have the most experience with.
While I have not use the program extensively, it is an excellent program. Clarify is more focused on creating a "document" of screenshots. Versus grabbing a screenshot, then annotating, then copying into a destination document.
Instead of the "normal" 3 shot process - Clarify will grab the screen, and place you into its editor to allow you to: annotate the shot (i.e. add text, arrows, shapes), then add text (i.e. instructions) as if it were a word document. You keep adding shots to the document - and text / information - until you are done.
The finished product is a PDF with text, pictures, and instructions.
Coming from a SnagIt 3 step process, there is some re-learning to do. So, minus one star since habits are hard to break.
But, this is an excellent program and highly recommended. This is a slightly different - but extremely valuable - tool than a traditional screenshot/annotation program.
When you add in the developer's responsiveness and the excellent licensing model - its a no brainer. If you need to use screenshots to communicate information to clients, users, or to remember stuff for later this program is well worth a buy.

- it would be superb if I could add a logo to the rightern side of the header.
- If I make a screenshot of a window, it's always out of focus. Please change this, it looks better if the window isn't half grayed out.

Here is some more info:

I am not sure what you mean about the window being out of focus. Could you send an example to support at bluemangolearning dot com?

We are considering adding text in addition to the logo in a future update.
