Capture your way
Capture a region, fixed ratio, window, current display or all displays, or reuse the previous region.
macOS app
Capture the detail. Make it clear.
Capture, annotate, pin and edit from the menu bar. Keep references visible and everyday actions one shortcut away.
Designed for focus
From capture to a shareable image
Handle everyday screenshots and edits together, with advanced tools when you need them.
Annotate the details
Add arrows, shapes, brush strokes, text and numbers; use magnifier and focus effects to highlight details.
Keep a reference visible
Pin an image to your desktop, move, resize or crop it, adjust opacity, and temporarily hide all pins.
Keep an editable project
Crop, rotate, adjust colors and work with layers. Save a .qlshot project to continue editing later.
Local history and privacy checks
Keep history locally with retention limits. Optional export checks flag possible QR codes, phone and ID numbers; manual review is still needed.
Scrolling, OCR and translation · VIP
Automatically scroll and stitch supported windows. Use local or external OCR and model-based translation. External service fees are separate.

Before you get started
Requires macOS 14 or later. Ordinary capture needs Screen Recording access; scrolling capture also needs Accessibility access. Scrolling capture, OCR and translation require valid VIP authorization. Check the member center and verified local license for entitlements and device limits. External OCR sends the selected image; model translation sends recognized text. Provider fees are separate. Privacy detection can miss items or flag harmless content, so inspect the final image. Editable projects retain original pixels and layers and should not be shared as redacted files.
