ShotScreen is the fastest way to capture, mark up, and record your Mac screen, with everything processed on-device and no account required.
Grab any area, window, or full screen. Capture entire scrolling pages with a live preview. Record MP4 video with system and mic audio, then trim it inline.
Every capture drops in as a floating thumbnail with every tool right under it: annotate, blur, extract text, remove the background, upscale, share. No app-switching, no interruptions.

Improvements:
The image editor now speaks your language. Every tool, tooltip and options bar is translated, in all ten languages.
Settings is fully translated too, including the save mode and filename format menus.
The search box in Settings now finds sections by words in your own language, not only the English ones.
The cloud settings, the messages after copying or removing an image, and the undo actions are translated as well.
The Russian translation has been reviewed from start to finish by a native speaker.
