Sharpshot: Screenshot & Markup
Pin, OCR text & color picker
Only for Mac
Free · In‑App Purchases
Mac
Now free. Every shot keeps your screen's real pixels — no re-scaling, no watermark, no nagging. One-time unlock: pin, text & QR, colour picker, PDF.
Sharpshot takes screenshots that come back exactly as they are.
FREE, FOR GOOD
• Capture an area, a window, or a whole display — with a global shortcut.
• The size and the magnifier are on screen while you drag, so you can line up to the pixel. Arrow keys nudge by 1 px.
• Every shot is saved at your screen's real pixel size. Nothing is re-scaled, nothing is compressed behind your back, and nothing is stamped on it.
• Annotate right after: arrow, rectangle, ellipse, freehand, text, highlight, mosaic, numbered steps, crop. Undo and redo. Pick any colour.
• Copy to the clipboard, save as PNG or JPEG, or drag the shot straight into Finder, Mail or a chat window. Copy and save can each be turned off.
ONE-TIME UNLOCK (IN-APP PURCHASE)
• Pin a shot on top of everything, at any size and opacity, while you work from it.
• Read the text in any shot — Chinese and English — and get it on the clipboard. QR codes and barcodes too.
• Pick a colour out of the magnifier in HEX, RGB, SwiftUI or NSColor.
• Save as PDF.
One purchase, not a subscription. Family Sharing included. If you bought Sharpshot before it became free, it stays fully unlocked.
WHY IT ASKS FOR SCREEN RECORDING
macOS puts screenshots behind the "Screen Recording" permission — there is no separate one. Sharpshot reads one frame at the moment you press the shortcut, and only then. It never records in the background, and nothing ever leaves your Mac.
WHERE YOUR SHOTS GO
Not the Desktop. Sharpshot saves to ~/Pictures/Sharpshot/ by default, so your Desktop stays clean. You can point it at any folder in Settings.
WHAT IT DOESN'T DO
• It never asks you to rate it.
• It never advertises other apps, and you only see the unlock when you reach for one of those four tools.
• It has no account, no sign-in, and no analytics.
• It doesn't go online. There is no network permission in the app at all — text recognition runs on your Mac.
WHAT THE FREE VERSION DOESN'T HOLD BACK
The screenshot itself. Free shots are full resolution with no watermark, and copying and saving are never locked. The unlock only adds the four extra tools above.
Chinese and English are both first-class: the whole interface, not just a menu.
Requires macOS 14 or later.
