CleanShot X

screenshot and screen recording tool that completely replaces macOS's native screenshot functionality.

features used:

• scrolling capture (full webpage screenshots)
• annotate and blur before sharing
• screen recording with system audio
• quick access overlay (recent captures pinned to screen)
• OCR on screenshots
• cloud upload for quick sharing

installed via: brew install --cask cleanshot

why over native: the annotation tools, scrolling capture, and recording with system audio are things macOS just doesn't do natively.
