We’re a small team building Sealshot, a free and open-source screenshot app for macOS.
We started working on it because screenshots often become disposable files. We use them for bug reports, QA, documentation, support, and security work, but later they can be hard to find or reuse. They can also accidentally contain sensitive information such as emails, API keys, tokens, internal URLs, or customer data.
Sealshot is built around a simple idea:
Treat screenshots more like documents than temporary images.
It supports:
- region, window, and scrolling capture
- screen recording
- editable annotations
- OCR and searchable screenshot archives
- sensitive information detection before sharing
- encrypted local storage
- local metadata generation
Everything is processed locally on the Mac. It’s open source and free, and we’re still actively improving it.
We’d really appreciate feedback, especially from developers, QA engineers, support teams, and people working in security.

No windows version stands out to me first. my team is split mac and windows, and screenshots need to look and behave the same on both sides for a bug report to make sense, that's the first question a mixed team will ask. I ended up on slimsnap.ai for that reason, free on both with the same annotation set. the sensitive-info detection before saving is barely mentioned in the post, more people will probably care about that than the ocr feature.
