Shottr overview
Shottr is a small, fast screenshot app that helps designers and UI developers to explore their pixels.
Scrolling Screenshots on Mac
Take a screenshot of a long web page or capture conversation in a chat. Shottr is probably the only free Scrolling Screenshot app for Mac.
Pixelate or remove objects
Hide parts of your screen behind pixelated curtain, or remove sensitive information as if it was never there.
Markup screenshots
Add text annotations to your screenshots, draw lines, arrows, and simple shapes.
Use it as a Screen Ruler
Press ↑ or ↓ key and move your mouse to measure vertical size, ← or → for horizontal size. Click to imprint the measurement on the screenshot.
Unclutter your desktop
Select a dedicated folder to save screenshots on ⌘ S. Great for purchase receipts, reminders, archive items, random images, etc.
Zoom in on your pixels
Think of Shottr as your digital magnifying glass. If you need to have a closer look at something, take a screenshot and zoom in.
Text recognition (OCR)
Came by a text that won’t select? Press a hotkey and select an area - Shottr will parse the text and copy it to the clipboard.
Proven performance
Shottr is a tiny (1.2mb) native app optimized for M1. It takes only 17ms to grab a screenshot, and ~165ms to show it to you. You can take a screenshot, press Cmd+S and save it before the default macOS preview box would even show up.
Color picker
Take a screenshot, zoom in, move your mouse over the pixel and press the TAB key to copy color under the cursor.
What’s new in version 1.7.0
Updated on May 31 2023
Important Changes
- The app gets two paid tiers with this version (it could still be used for free, although it'll ask you to consider paying).
- Buy a license with a limited-time 50% discount using code FIRSTWEEK50
New Features
- Freehand Drawing tool (change stroke variability with cmd+enter, smoothness with opt+up/down)
- Text Highlighter tool (change cap style with cmd+enter)
- Spotlight tool (change background opacity with keys 1..9)
- Image resizer (click on the image size in the upper right corner)
- An option to hide the menubar icon (only available with the license)
- A button to remove linebreaks from the OCR text after it was recognized, and a setting to remove linebreaks by default
Improvements
- Fixed an issue when scrolling capture would include a cursor in the middle of the screenshot on some computers
- Scroll Capture will show a message if it fails to scroll, or if it reaches the max-height limit
- A setting to reverse auto-scroll direction (may help if you're using an app like Scroll Reverser)
- Ability to blur selected area by pressing key B
- The editor window now always opens on the screen on which the screenshot was taken
- Holding Shift while selecting the image area will produce a square selection
- Starting the app when it's already running will bring the original app forward instead of showing the message
- If your Shottr icon is pinned in the dock, clicking on it when the app is running but the window is closed will open up the editor
- Semi-transparent pinned screenshot doesn't have a shadow now. Convenient for overlay comparison.
- Fixed a bug when the Max Scrolling Height won't persist after the app relaunch
