  • Native lightweight macOS app optimized for Apple Silicon
  • Scrolling screenshot capture across windows and web pages
  • On-screen OCR text recognition and QR code reading with line break removal options
  • Text-only blur and object erasing without damaging backgrounds
  • Integrated screen ruler for pixel measurement and color picker with contrast ratio checks
  • Annotation tools including numbered steps, callout labels, freehand drawings, spotlights, and curved arrows

  • Backdrop styling with custom gradients, shadows, and rounded corners
