Capturing a window now captures that window — with its shadow, on a transparent background. Plus resizing, GIF and BMP export, and five remappable shortcuts.
iSkitch is a modern, native macOS recreation of the classic Skitch — capture any region, window or your full screen, annotate it instantly, and share the result with one click.
Built for the macOS you use today: lives quietly in your menu bar, always one keyboard shortcut away, and uses the native share sheet so your screenshots land wherever you need them.
WHAT YOU CAN DO
• Capture a region (⌥⌘4), a window, or your full screen — opens straight in the editor
• Annotate with 14 tools:
– Tapered Skitch-style arrows (plus filled, open and concave), optional double-headed
– Text with system fonts, sizes, bold and italic
– Rectangles, ellipses (outline or filled) and lines
– Highlighter (multiply blend, just like a real marker)
– Freehand pen
– Stamps: check, cross, star and dot
– Obscure (pixelate, blur, solid block, stripes) — hide sensitive info reliably
– Spotlight — dim everything except the areas you want to focus on
– Sticker emojis
– Image-over-image overlay
– Non-destructive crop with aspect ratio presets and proportional lock
• Rotate left/right and flip horizontal/vertical — annotations follow
• Full undo/redo on every change
• Export to PNG, JPEG, PDF or TIFF
• Copy to clipboard, share via the native macOS share sheet, or drag straight into any app
• Drop an image onto the Dock icon or "Open with iSkitch" from the Finder
DESIGNED LIKE A NATIVE APP
• Lives in the menu bar — keep it always available or run on demand, with optional Dock icon
• Standard top menu: File · Edit · Capture · Image · Tools · Window
• Light, Dark or System appearance
• Universal Binary (Apple Silicon + Intel)
• Available in 18 languages: English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Japanese, Korean, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Russian, Dutch, Swedish, Polish, Turkish, Czech, Indonesian and Catalan

Low Quality Screen Capture
SWFL_Clark
I’ve used Skitch forever and my Mac gave me the Intel warning that it wouldn’t be supported.I found this as a good recommendation to use.The image capture quality is very poor and I would not recommend this product.
Developer Response
We are working to improve this in new versions!
iSkitch 1.8.0 — Captures, as they should have been
Capturing a window never actually captured a window: iSkitch photographed the whole screen and cropped out the window's rectangle, so anything on top came along too. Fixing that opened the door to the rest.
New
• Window captures arrive with the window's shadow and rounded corners, on a transparent background.
• Capture the window you already have in front, straight away, with ⌥⇧⌘5.
• Resize the image in pixels, with proportions locked and 25/50/75/100% presets (Image ▸ Resize Image…). Annotations scale with it and ⌘Z undoes the whole thing in one step.
• Export to GIF and BMP.
• Adjustable strength for pixelation and blur, saved per annotation: hint at an IP address and make a password completely unreadable in the same screenshot.
• All five capture shortcuts can be changed one by one in Settings ▸ Capture ▸ Shortcut.
• An optional window invites you to subscribe to product news. Your email only reaches us if you type it, accept the privacy policy and press the button.
Fixed
• Capturing a window captures that window, with nothing that happened to be on top of it.
• ⌥⌘5, ⌥⌘3 and ⌥⇧⌘4 work from any app. Only ⌥⌘4 was a real global shortcut before.
• JPEG and BMP no longer frame transparent areas in black.
• The bottom bar reported half the pixels a capture really had, and resizing started from that wrong figure.
