Create and edit screenshots on your Mac with Shottr. You get scroll shots, text recognition, arrows and tools to hide details.

Developer Shottr

Version 1.9.3 · Freemium · macOS

Shottr is a screenshot program for macOS. You can capture a window or part of the screen and also save longer content with a scroll recording. Then add an explanation with text, arrows, frames or markings without first opening a separate image editor.

With text recognition, extract text from a screen image. You can put images next to each other, pin a screenshot onto the screen and inspect colors. The tools are mainly aimed at explaining something you see on your screen, such as an error message, design detail or setting.

Shottr can store locally and also offers upload options. In recent versions you can set your own S3 compatible storage. Please think before uploading whether names, email addresses and other details may remain in view. A screenshot is easily forwarded and can contain more information than the subject you want to point out.

Who is it for?

You use a Mac and make regular explanations, error messages or design comparisons with screenshots. You want to annotate right after the recording.

Getting started

Download Shottr, place the app in your program folder and set a shortcut. Enter the rights for screenshots when macOS requests them. Then choose whether you only save locally or also upload.

Privacy

Shottr checks for updates and uses telemetry that you can disable in the preferences. Activation requires internet. If you upload an image, it will end up with the chosen storage service.

Our verdict

Shottr is especially useful when you not only store screenshots, but also explain something with them. The annotations and text recognition save multiple single actions. For a sporadic screenshot, the built-in Mac feature can be sufficient. If you make daily explanations, then the extra tools are worth a try. First check which of these are available in your chosen license.
