Pieces 🌟 • Edited

Theres someone else to add to this list - Us! And its completely free.

You can store all of the code screenshots as originals inside of Pieces and also get all of the code inside. It will also auto detect the language as well :)

The other cool thing is we have plugins for VSCode and JetBrains, and you can take a screenshot right in your IDE of choice and see it in Pieces immediately!
