Free, local-first screenshots and screen recording. No account, no cloud, no watermark — captures stay on your device until you choose to export.
- Capture everything — visible area (
Ctrl/Cmd+Shift+1), selected region (+2), full page (+3), single element, delayed capture, tab and screen recording (+5) - Annotate — arrows, boxes, blur, numbered steps, crop, undo/redo, all in the editor that opens after every capture
- Library — grid, search, folders, auto-cleanup; history lives in on-device IndexedDB
- Record — tab audio plus optional mic, saved as MP4 when supported or WebM otherwise, with an in-page stop/discard bar
- Private by design — no account, no analytics, on-device everything
