ioshot
Capture, record, annotate, and extract smart text on macOS. ioshot combines flexible screenshots, screen recording, OCR, Calculation OCR, and fast editing workflows in one menu bar toolkit.
Key Features
Flexible Capture
Capture the full display, a selected region, or a specific window from a shortcut-first workflow. Multi-display selection, hover-state preservation, and customizable hotkeys help you grab the exact moment.
Screen Recording
Record the full display, a region, or a window with system audio, microphone input, and flexible MP4, MOV, or GIF export. GIF resolution and FPS controls keep recordings share-ready.
OCR & Calculation OCR
Extract text from any screen area, or capture a math expression and let Calculation OCR evaluate it, format the result, and copy it to the clipboard. OCR runs fully on-device with Apple Vision.
Powerful Annotations
Explain screenshots with arrows, shapes, rich text, highlights, freehand strokes, pixelation, and an auto-counting number tool that stamps 1, 2, 3… as you click. Shift-click to multi-select and restyle annotations at once; settings stay in sync across editor windows.
Crop, Paste & Pixelate
Paste images from the clipboard with ⌘V, then move, resize, and crop them right on the canvas. Crop with a rule-of-thirds guide, pixelate sensitive details — even over pasted images — and pin the editor above other windows.
Fast Workflow
Move smoothly from capture to clipboard, save location, share sheet, or history. Batch history operations, user-chosen save folders, and PNG, JPEG, TIFF, GIF, MP4, and MOV outputs keep the workflow flexible.
