01/Frozen-screen capture

Capture, explain,
and continue.

02/Where Snaphub fits

Between the built-in snip that does too little, and the suite that asks for too much attention.

Windows Snip

Matches its immediacy, adds the annotation, redaction, and pinning it leaves out.

Flameshot

Keeps contextual editing, improves visual polish, detection, and cross-platform consistency.

CleanShot

Adapts its capture-to-share philosophy, starting with a smaller local-first core.

ShareX

Doesn't compete on menu depth. Competes on speed, restraint, and predictable defaults.

03/Quick tools

Depth on demand, never in the way.

Contextual controls appear only after you choose a tool. Everything else stays out of sight.

BLUR / PIXELATE / BLACKOUT

Secure redaction

Blur, secure pixelation, and blackout that permanently rasterize protected pixels. Nothing recoverable ships in the export.

ARROW / SHAPE / TEXT

Rich annotation

Grouped arrows, smooth curved lines, shapes, highlighter, and freehand pencil — contextual color, stroke, and fill controls appear only when you need them.

1 → 2 → 3

Auto counter

Numbered callouts that increment automatically, with an explicit starting value for step-by-step walkthroughs.

ALWAYS ON TOP

Pin anywhere

Turn a capture into a resizable, click-through, always-on-top reference image without leaving your desktop.

AUTO / MANUAL

Scrolling capture

Automatic overlap stitching with sticky-header handling, or a manual fallback for apps that ignore synthetic scroll input.

04/Light while idle

Fast while active. Nearly invisible while idle.

Excluding your captures

Stay in context

Never navigate into an application for routine capture.

One obvious action

Default behavior works before any customization.

Depth on demand

Contextual controls appear after you choose a tool.

Local by default

Capture and editing work offline, without an account.

Redaction must be real

Protected pixels can't be recovered from an export.

05/Platform status

Platform truth over false sameness.

We explain OS permission or compositor limitations instead of silently failing. Here’s exactly what’s real today, and what’s next.

Windows 11Confirmed

Reference implementation, physically tested.

macOSProvisional

Architectural target, native adapters pending.

UbuntuProvisional

Wayland portal-mediated capture planned.

FedoraProvisional

Shares the Linux capture/domain core.

06/Join the beta

Capture, explain,
and continue.

Windows 11 first. Local-first by default. No account, no cloud dependency, and sharing stays an explicit later action.
