Capture brilliantly.
Edit beautifully.
Share fearlessly.
Snip Studio smartly suggests what's sensitive in your screenshots — faces, emails, URLs, and more — so you can redact it on-device before you share. Nothing ever leaves your Mac.

Grab exactly what you need.
Every time, your way.
Ten precise ways to capture — from a quick rectangle to a full scrolling page, stitched. Fire any of them with a single ⌃⌥ chord, from any app, on any display.
Record your screen,
beautifully.
Capture any area, window, or display as crisp video — with your voice, your Mac's sound, or both. One click to start, one to stop, and it lands right in your Library, ready for the Motion editor below.
Any shape, straight to video
Record an area, a single window, or the whole display — at 15, 30, or 60 frames per second. One click to start, one to stop.
Your voice, your Mac's sound
Narrate over the microphone, capture what your Mac is playing, or mix both — with a live level meter while you record.
Straight to your Library
Recordings land right beside your screenshots, on your calendar. Trim, annotate, and export them in the Motion editor below.
Mark it up beautifully.
A floating toolbar with eighteen annotation tools — arrows, shapes, text, numbered steps, spotlight, magnifier. Every tool remembers its last color and style. Nothing is ever flattened; reopen a capture and move, restyle, or remove anything you added.
Draw & shape
Arrows, lines, pen, and a multiply-blend highlighter. Rectangles, ellipses, and callouts with translucent fills — all live and editable.
Steps & measures
Numbered step markers for walkthroughs, and dimension rulers that label the exact W × H in pixels.
Spotlight & magnify
Dim everything but the point that matters, or drop a 2× circular magnifier to pull a detail forward. Crop, rotate, and straighten stay non-destructive.
Nothing is ever baked in.
Come back to any capture and refine it — nudge an arrow, rewrite the words you typed, even lift a redaction on your own captures. Nothing is flattened until the moment you export.
Edits you can revisit
Nothing is ever baked in. Come back and refine any capture — even its redactions.
Only share what
you meant to.
Snip Studio reads your capture — finding emails, URLs, file paths, faces, and QR codes — entirely on your Mac. Review, redact, and export a Safe Copy where the sensitive content is flattened for good. Your original stays untouched and editable.
Everything on-device
Detection and redaction happen entirely on your Mac. No cloud, ever — even the faces are found locally.
Three redaction styles
Blur, pixelate, or blackout — each applied non-destructively at export time, on top of clean annotations. Preview masked values before you commit.
Safe Copy, labeled
Sanitized exports carry embedded metadata telling recipients the file was made safe — so a shared screenshot proves it was cleaned before it left.
Hidden in a tap.
Snip Studio finds every face, QR code, and barcode on its own — right on your Mac. Pixelate or blur them before you share, one at a time or all at once, and change your mind whenever you like.
Hide faces in a tap
Snip Studio finds every face on its own — pixelate them before you share.
Record in any shape.
Even with real transparency.
Capture the screen to video or GIF in six shapes. Ellipse, rounded, and lasso clips export with a genuine alpha channel and feathered edges — ready to composite straight into another project.
Record
A motion editor that keeps up.
Trim on a scrubbing timeline with a detailed audio waveform for frame-accurate sync. Every annotation you draw on the video becomes a draggable time-range chip — click one to seek, and selecting it pauses the loop so you can restyle against a steady frame.
Record mic, system audio, or both. Record for as long as you like — even hour-long captures stay perfectly smooth.
Everything you capture,
ready when you need it.
Your captures live on a real calendar — each day a little stack of that day's shots. Search finds any capture by the text inside it, its source app, window title, or URL — because every image is read on-device.
Watch it search: typing "invoice" keeps only the days that contain it lit — matched against text read inside each capture, on-device.
Put your captures on autopilot.
Build a rule once — trigger, conditions, actions — and Snip Studio runs it after every capture. Redact, run OCR, export a PDF, pin to screen, or fire a macOS Shortcut. There's a URL scheme and a CLI, too.
Your screenshots never leave your Mac.
No cloud. No accounts. No analytics. Just a studio that does everything locally — and means it.
Everything on-device
Text, faces, links, and codes are all read right on your Mac. Nothing is uploaded — ever.
No tracking. Period.
No analytics, no trackers, nothing phoning home. What you capture is nobody's business but yours.
Private by default
Nothing you capture is ever exposed to other apps or slipped into something you share by accident. What's yours stays yours.
You own your content
Everything lives in your Library, on your Mac. No accounts, no server copies — and no permission requests until a feature actually needs one.
Snip Studio never asks for a system permission until you use the feature that needs it — like the microphone, only when you add narration.
A tiny mark keeps them free
Keeping most capture modes free isn't free for us — so snips you copy or save on the free plan carry a small Snip Studio mark in the corner. What you see while editing, and the originals kept in your Library, are never marked. An in-app ULTRA upgrade removes it.
