If you’re on Mac, there’s no better screenshot tool — period. CleanShot X handled all the launch visuals, quick clips, and last-minute “wait, let me show you this” moments like a champ.

I love cleanshot. As a customer facing, product person I can snap a shot, mark it up and send it where I need it. Also the the video cepturing is great. You feel how well thought through the flows and product as such is. Only thing that I would like to see is easier access to images I have already used once. Its no biggie, but it takes a few steps to restore an images that has been used before.

Money well spend. Warm recommendation.

Pros
+ built-in annotation (14)+ video recording (9)
Cons
inflexible workflow (2)

CleanShot is one of those rare tools that makes you wonder how you ever worked without it. We used it for all the screenshots in our product displays and user documentation, and it saved us hours.

Speeds up my design workflows considerably. Especially grabbing screenshots and annotating them for Slack. Also handy for record videos for async updates and making presentations pretty.

Pros

  1. Forcing your own cloud should be illegal in this day and age. And for something the cost of clean shot x? There is no way to hide it in the interface. This is primary driver for 1 star.
  2. No option to auto-dismiss a screenshot have copy text.

This and their cloud are examples of how inflexible the workflow is. For the price I feel this I unacceptable.

Cons
inflexible workflow (2) forced cloud usage (1)
