Shelf Screenshot is a Mac screenshot tool that never rushes you.
Capture pixel-perfect, mark it up right on the spot, then copy, save, or pin it to the edge of your screen. It stays there until you need it — no forced editor, no vanishing thumbnail.
Free download with trial · Pro from $1.99/mo · macOS 13+
Freeze the screen, select, mark it up, and choose where it goes. The whole flow lives under your fingertips.
Double-tap the right ⌘ or press ⌘⇧1. The screen freezes so nothing moves while you aim.
Drag a pixel-perfect region with a live magnifier and W×H readout. Then nudge and resize it freely.
Arrows, shapes, text, blur — right on the selection, before it's ever saved. One-key tools, full undo.
⌘C to clipboard, ⌘S to a folder, or ⏎ to pin it as a floating card.
Fast where it should be fast, calm where you need a moment to think.
Double-tap the right Command key or hit ⌘⇧1. The screen freezes the instant you trigger it.
A magnifier zooms in on the edge you're chasing while live width × height numbers follow the cursor.
Got the region slightly wrong? Drag it around or pull the corner and side handles until it's exactly right.
Hover a window and click to grab it cleanly, or capture the whole display straight from the menu bar.
Pencil, line, arrow, rectangle, circle, text and blur — applied before the shot is saved, never destructive.
A arrow · R rectangle · C circle · L line · P pencil · T text · B blur · O OCR.
Press ⏎ and the shot docks to the right edge as a card. Click to edit, hover to dismiss.
Grab a pinned card and drop it straight into Slack, Mail, Finder or any app that takes an image.
Pull the text out of any screenshot with one key. Fully offline, English and Ukrainian.
Cover a token, an email or a face. The blur is baked into the exported file — the data underneath is gone.
Every capture is kept on your Mac with a retention limit you choose: 50, 100, 300 or unlimited.
No account, no cloud, no analytics, zero network access. Nothing ever leaves your computer.
Grab an error message, a receipt, a slide, a screenshot someone sent you — press O and Shelf Screenshot reads it. A window pops up with the recognized text, ready to copy in one click.
Shelf Screenshot makes zero network connections. There's no sign-up, no telemetry, and no third-party services. Screenshots live in the app's local container and OCR runs entirely on your machine.
