Great app for screenshots. It’s simple, fast, and easy to use every day. I like that I can quickly capture, edit, copy, and share screenshots without extra steps. It feels clean and useful, with some features I was missing in other screenshot tools.

Thanks, ♥️
What's new:
• Quick labels and arrows for shapes. Select a rectangle, circle or arrow in the editor and small buttons appear right next to it. One click adds a caption or an arrow pointing at it.
• Bounce window on click. When your video has a background, the window now gives a gentle little bounce on every click, so viewers can feel each click. Turn it on in the Clicks tab of the video editor.
