ShotSumo
Screenshot, annotate, redact
Only for Mac
Free · In‑App Purchases
Mac
Capture a region, a window or a whole screen from the menu bar, annotate it, then copy or save it. Capture and markup are free — no account, no time limit.
ShotSumo lives in your menu bar and takes you from screenshot to shareable, annotated image in seconds — no window to find, no app to switch to.
CAPTURE, YOUR WAY
• Region — drag out exactly the area you want. ShotSumo freezes the screen and shows its own on-screen selection overlay so you can pick a precise rectangle; press Esc at any point to cancel, and nothing is captured.
• Window — pick any open window with a click.
• Full screen — grab an entire display instantly, with one menu item per display when more than one is connected.
• Again — re-shoot the exact region you captured last, with no dimming and no drag: one menu item, or a hotkey you set in Preferences.
A global keyboard shortcut (⌘⇧9 by default, fully rebindable) starts a region capture from anywhere without opening the menu at all.
ANNOTATE IN SECONDS
Every capture opens straight into a fast, focused editor:
• Rectangle, ellipse, and arrow markup, each with its own colour and stroke width.
• A text tool for captions — click on the picture and type where you clicked, in the same colours as the shapes.
• Undo/redo and zoom controls so you can work precisely without leaving the keyboard.
The editor reopens on the tool, colour, and stroke width you used last, so the second screenshot of the day takes even less work than the first.
COPY OR SAVE, INSTANTLY
⌘C puts a flattened, full-resolution PNG straight on the clipboard. ⌘S saves it using a clear, timestamped file name: the first time you save, ShotSumo asks you to choose the folder it should use, and every save after that goes there instantly, with no dialog to click through. Everything is yours — you decide exactly where on your own Mac files are saved, you can change that folder whenever you like in Preferences, and the file can be revealed in Finder the moment it lands.
CAPTURE AND MARKUP ARE FREE. PERMANENTLY.
Region, window, and full-screen capture, "again" re-capture, and every markup tool above are free forever — no trial, no account, no time limit, no catch.
SHOTSUMO PRO
ShotSumo Pro adds a pixelate tool for redacting sensitive information — obscure a password field, a name, or an account number before you share anything — a spotlight tool that dims everything but the area you're pointing at, a numbered step badge for tutorials and bug reports, and AVIF/HEIC as save formats alongside PNG. Pro is a $9.99/year auto-renewing subscription with a two-week free trial. Payment is charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period; manage or cancel it any time in your Apple ID subscription settings.
PRIVATE, VERIFIABLY
ShotSumo is a private screenshotter: your screenshots and edits are never sent anywhere — no uploads, no sync, no server in the picture. There is no analytics, no telemetry, and no usage statistics of any kind, and no account or sign-in of any kind. Capture, editing, and export all happen entirely on your Mac.
Made by a geek, for geeks.
