Everything you need. Right where you need it.

Capture screenshots your way

Start with ⌘ ⇧ C, then capture an area, a window, or the full screen.

Mark up the important detail

Use shapes, arrows, text, blur, and pixelate.

Record short flows clearly

Record screen video with audio and input overlays.

Export without extra steps

Use the keyboard to copy fast with ⌘ C, or save clean PNG and JPEG output.

Screen recording

Some things are better in motion.

Record a bug, a walkthrough, or a quick explanation. Screen recording with system audio is free. Add microphone, webcam, and keystroke overlays to exports with Lifetime.

Native

Built with a native macOS UI so VivyShot feels at home where it runs.

Focused

The app stays focused on fast capture, annotation, recording, and export instead of spreading across platforms.

Open source

The code is public, inspectable, and developed in the open.
