Only for Mac

Mac
Capture exactly what you mean — not just a manual box. Smart mode snaps the frame to windows and UI. Local gallery, copy, drag to Cursor & more. No cloud.
Capture the right region — fast.
Smart Shot Pro is a menu bar screenshot tool built for developers, designers, and anyone who captures UI, text, and images all day. Draw a frame, enable Smart mode, and the overlay snaps to the window under your selection. Save captures to a local gallery, copy with one click, or drag images straight into apps like Cursor, Slack, or Notion.
Everything runs locally on your Mac. No account. No upload. No subscription.

1. Click Take Screenshot from the menu bar
2. Move and resize the capture frame (size and position are remembered)
