Shottr is legit. It's really amazing that there aren't more decent screenshotting tools when they're so incredibly useful. People would rather just take a picture of their screen and upload it that way :cringe:

Shottr was well worth their Black Friday price ($12?). But the free version is entirely sufficient and worked well for me for over a year.

Snagit has 10 times as many features for several times the price, but somehow Shottr is like the most efficient app ever. So, so fast! But Snagit is more like Shottr plus a miniature Photoshop so can excuse some of that.


Oh hey, forgot Snippety the text expander ๐Ÿ”ฅ even has an iOS keyboard.

Great dev too, super responsive solo dude.

It's not just a higher price, it's an ongoing subscription. That's not something I would ever agree to. It makes zero sense. It's just greedy bullshit, in my opinion. Give me a flat fee and if it breaks or you add new features, I will decide if I want to pay again for an upgrade.
