ScreenSnapr vs CleanShot X

CleanShot X is an excellent screenshot app for the Mac, and only the Mac: its makers say there is no Windows version and no plan for one. ScreenSnapr does the part many people use it for, a link on the clipboard the moment you capture, on macOS and Windows.

Choose ScreenSnapr if

  • You use Windows, or a mix of Windows and Mac: the same app and the same links on both.
  • You capture mostly to share, and want the link ready to paste without another step.
  • You want to start free.

Choose CleanShot X if

  • You only use a Mac and want the full toolkit: annotation, scrolling capture, text recognition and more.
  • You would rather pay once than subscribe.
