JotShot: Screenshot Markup
The modern Skitch replacement
Only for Mac
$0.99
Mac
Miss Skitch? This is the one. $0.99, once - no subscription, no account, nothing leaves your Mac. Grab the screen, add an arrow, share it.
Say it with an arrow.
JotShot is a tiny menu bar app that turns "let me explain…" into one screenshot. Grab any part of your screen, mark it up, and share it — in about ten seconds.
IF YOU MISS SKITCH, YOU ALREADY KNOW HOW THIS WORKS
Skitch made screenshot annotation effortless. Then Evernote stopped updating it in 2016, and today it needs Rosetta just to launch on an Apple Silicon Mac. JotShot brings the same flow back — capture, arrow, share — written from scratch in Swift for today's macOS, with the same keyboard-first feel and the same big friendly arrows.
ONE SHORTCUT AWAY
- Capture an area with a crosshair or pick a whole window with one click
- Need a menu open first? Add a 5-second delay
- Open or paste any image (PNG, JPEG, TIFF, HEIC, WebP) to mark it up
- Choose your own global shortcut in Settings
TEN TOOLS, ONE KEY EACH
- Arrow (A) — the tapered, unmistakable kind
- Text (T) with a white halo so it reads on any background
- Rectangle (R), Circle (O), Line (L)
- Pen (P) and Highlighter (H)
- Stamp (S): Approved, Rejected, Attention, Question, Perfect
- Pixelate (X) names, e-mail addresses, keys and faces before a shot leaves your Mac
Move, resize and recolor anything after you've drawn it. Undo everything. Your last color, stroke and text size follow you from shot to shot.
SHARE YOUR WAY
- Copy to the clipboard with one click
- Drag the image straight out of the window into Slack, Mail, Notes or a browser
- Save as PNG, JPEG or PDF to a folder you choose
- Send it anywhere with the macOS share sheet
EVERY SHOT, KEPT
A history of your captures lives in the app, so "that screenshot from Tuesday" is one click away.
NOTHING LEAVES YOUR MAC
JotShot has no server, no account, and no analytics. The app never connects to the internet - not for tracking, not for updates, not for anything. It runs in the macOS App Sandbox and only touches the files you open, paste, or save.
ONE PRICE, ONCE
No subscription. No in-app purchases. No trial timer. Buy it once, and it's yours, updates included.
REQUIREMENTS
macOS 14 Sonoma or later. Apple Silicon and Intel. JotShot asks for the Screen Recording permission macOS requires for any app that captures the screen; it captures only when you trigger it.
