While Apple’s built-in Screenshot utility is fine for basic tasks, it comes with frustrating limitations: it displays dimensions without coordinates, offers no indication of menu bar coverage, restricts you to a single active region, and forces rigid file naming conventions.
Enter Desk Shots 5—the latest evolution of a trusted 13-year-old macOS utility. Evolving far beyond a traditional screenshot app, Desk Shots 5 is a powerful tool designed to give you absolute control over desktop framing, annotation, and partial-screen video recording.
Key Features
• Precision Window Assets: Define custom capture areas using an intuitive floating window. Save your frames as reusable Window Assets to instantly capture exact screen positions whenever you need them.
• Rich Annotation Overlays: Automatically overlay text, circles, rectangles, and SF Symbols directly onto your captures to highlight what matters most.
• Partial Desktop Video Recording: Don't just take pictures—record high-quality video of any specific, user-defined desktop region.
• Menu Bar Integration: Access a handy status menu to trigger screenshots or start video recordings instantly with a single click.
• Full Undo/Redo Support: Whether you're shifting layers or tweaking foreground colors, every action is fully backed by standard Undo and Redo stacks under the Edit menu.
Take the friction out of capturing and recording your workspace. Streamline your workflow with absolute precision using Desk Shots 5.

1. Fix: When the user clicked on the Screenshot button in the sidebar, a resulting screenshot image did not have a shadow cast around each layer of windows.
2. Fix: The user barely had access to the contextual menu (Lock, Hide, Delete…) in the layer list.
3. Fix: The deployment target was set to 15.0. It is now set to 14.0.
