Everything the Windows Snipping Tool taught you to expect — and everything Apple's built-in screenshot tool leaves out.
Press ⌃⇧4 — or a button on your mouse — and drag. Region, window, or full screen, with an optional 3/5/10-second timer.
Every capture opens instantly for markup: pen, highlighter, arrows, shapes, text, numbered callouts — with full undo and zoom.
Record a region, a window, or the whole screen with your microphone and click highlights. A green frame shows exactly what's being captured.
The moment a capture opens, it's already on your clipboard. Switch straight to Mail, Slack, or a doc and paste — no copy button, no extra step.
Add an arrow, highlight, redaction, or crop — the clipboard updates itself moments later. Whatever the editor shows is exactly what pastes.
Black-out boxes hide names, emails, and account numbers before a screenshot leaves your Mac.
Save as PNG or JPEG at full Retina quality, or send anywhere with the macOS share sheet — Mail, Messages, Notes, AirDrop.
A real Mac app — not a cross-platform port. Tiny footprint, instant launch, keyboard-first, and it respects your privacy: no telemetry.
macOS ships with a basic screenshot utility. SnippySnip picks up where it stops.

🚫 No subscription. No account required. No telemetry.
No — and it never will be. You pay once and the app is yours. Free minor and major updates are included for two years; after that, upgrades are optional and discounted.
Any Mac running macOS 13 Ventura or later, Apple Silicon or Intel. It's a small native app — quick to download, instant to launch.
All screenshot capture modes and the full annotation editor, free forever. The one-time Pro license adds screen recording, the capture timer, and priority support.
No — the image is on your clipboard the instant the capture opens, and it re-copies itself as you annotate. Draw an arrow, blur something out, crop — then just paste. The editor confirms it with a subtle "Copied to clipboard — stays in sync as you edit."
Yes — that's exactly how it was born. Assign your mouse button (e.g. in Logi Options+) to the keystroke ⌃⇧4 and every press starts a new snip; ⌃⇧5 starts and stops recordings.
No telemetry, no analytics, no account. Captures never leave your Mac unless you copy, save, or share them yourself.
Very soon — we're finishing Apple notarization and the checkout, and the site will open for sale the moment they're done. The $9.99 launch price will be live at opening. Questions in the meantime? Email hello@snippysnip.com.
