![]() Capto also has a built-in browser and you can navigate in there if you like but I figure the native browser is probably more useful. Instantly you’ve got a PNG of the entire thing. With your web page of interest open in your browser, simply go to the menu bar app and choose Snap Active Browser URL. You can capture an entire web page with Capto. The next option is something that’s definitely rare in screen capture apps. Every single other feature of Capto works flawlessly for me. Oddly it’s only the menu capture that seems to be annoyed with screen recording permissions. Support is trying to help me get it to work but they sent me a download version and now I have two versions and things are getting very tangly. It has a dedicated option to capture a menu, but for the life of me, I can’t get it to work because of macOS Catalina permissions. But it has more options than I’ve seen in most screenshot utilities. I just happened to keep trying iStat in all of my testing.Ĭapto will give you the typical type of screenshots: full screen, area or window. Update: It turns out Capto can’t capture iState Menus drop down menus, but it works just fine on regular menus in apps. None of my other tools have a library function. You use the menu bar app (or the keystrokes they give you) for the different things you can capture, and then the image opens in the editor and is stored in the Capto library for future use. Capto is $20 with a 15-day free trial, and it’s also included in your Setapp subscription if you’re of that persuasion.Ĭapto works as a menu bar app and as a normal app. Back when I last looked at Boom, it just made the macOS audio louder, but it looks like they’ve expanded it into 3D sound and it runs on iOS, Android and Windows now.īut let’s talk about Capto, the screenshot utility from Global Delight and see if it’s going to be added to my arsenal of screenshot tools. They also make a tool called Boom, that modifies your system sound. I’m not kidding about the decade part, it was in 2009!Ĭapto is from a company called Global Delight ( /…). I looked into it, and I think it’s the replacement for a screenshot tool I reviewed a decade ago called Voilà. I had lunch with my buddy Niraj, and he told me about a tool he’d found called Capto. You would think that I have enough screenshot tools at my disposal, but I’ve got a new one that’s pretty fun. ![]() Parallels Toolbox is right there in the menu bar with all those tools I go to all the time. Sometimes I’m lazy and send that giant file as is to someone (usually Steven Goetz but Dorothy often “enjoys” my videos of my homework “progress”.) If I’m feeling kind, like when sending a video of a bug to a developer, I’ll open the video in QuickTime and export it to a smaller format.Īnd yes, I know I can record video of the desktop using QuickTime, but for some reason, I just don’t reach for it to do that. ![]() With one click I can grab an area of the screen, hit record, hit done, and then I’ve got the video cluttering up my desktop. I know Monosnap can record video as well as screenshots, but for some reason when I want a quick video to show something off, I use the screen capture tool in Parallels Toolbox. I can click and drag for a precise location of an arrow or a box to highlight something, and I can change the line thickness after the fact, and I can blur out sensitive information. Again I can do a window, or drag for an area, but once I’ve got the shot, the annotation tools are ever so much better than Preview. When annotation is a must, I use Monosnap, or ⌥⌘5 in my world. But I almost always regret doing that because I often want to add an annotation, and I hate the annotation tools in Preview with a fiery passion. If I know I’m going to save a screenshot, I’ll often use ⌘⇧4 which opens it right in Preview so I can save it out to disk. I use the copy to clipboard because lots of times I’m going to just paste into a Telegram message, or my clipboard manager, Copy’em Paste will hold onto it until I need it. I often grab an entire window by hitting space bar first, or just drag on a region of interest. ⌘⌃⇧4 to copy a screenshot to my clipboard is my constant go-to keystroke. I probably use the built-in screenshot utility in macOS more than any of them. It’s not that I haven’t found a good one, it’s that there are so many good ones to play with. I collect screenshot apps like other people collect shoes.
