Plumshot's annotation editor on a store's order page: the shipping address is boxed in red with the number 1 and an arrow from the note “Customer says this is wrong”, boxes 2 and 3 mark the Edit address and Fulfill order buttons, and the phone number and email are pixelated.

From capture to markup, redaction, and background, then straight into a chat.

Features

Capture, mark up, redact, send — in one go.

Quick Access

Right where you need it.

Every shot waits in the bottom-right corner. Drag it into Slack, Mail, or Figma, or click to copy or save. It stays until you close it — no digging through your desktop.

Annotate

Point right at it.

Arrows, rectangles, numbers, text, pen, and highlighter — one key each. Step numbers count up on their own.

A marked-up order page: the shipping address is boxed in red with the number 1, an arrow points at it from the note “Customer says this is wrong”, and the phone number and email are pixelated.

Auto Redact

Redact before you send.

Click Auto Redact and every email, phone number, link, and face is pixelated — baked into the image, so nobody can undo it.

Original
The original help-desk ticket: the customer's phone number, email, and refund link are in plain sight.
After one click on Auto Redact
The same ticket after one click on Auto Redact: the phone numbers, the emails, and the link are pixelated; everything else is untouched.

Scrolling Capture

A whole page, one image.

Webpages, chat threads, long documents — Plumshot scrolls for you and stitches it into one tall screenshot.

Freeze Screen

Even hover menus hold still.

With All-in-One capture, the screen freezes first, so menus and tooltips that only appear on hover stay put.

Text Recognition

Copy the words, not the pixels.

Reads English and Chinese, right on your Mac. Nothing is uploaded.

A screenshot of a team announcement: the October release plan.Plumshot's OCR Result window with every line of the announcement as plain text, and Copy All at the top right.

And there's more inside.

  • A screenshot of a team note pinned above every window; the pointer over it shows Copy, Save, and Close.

    Pin

    Keep a reference on top.

    Code against a mockup or fill in a sheet without switching windows.

  • Plumshot's editor with the Background panel open: the screenshot sits on a blue-green gradient with padding, rounded corners, and a shadow.

    Background

    Slide-ready in one click.

    Add a background, rounded corners, and a shadow for docs, decks, and posts.

  • Record

    When words aren't enough, record it.

    Drag out an area, add your mic if you like, then trim and export.

  • Capture History

    Find last week's shot again.

    Recent captures stay in Capture History for as long as you set, and the latest ones stay editable.

FAQ

Before you buy, you might ask.

Anything else? Write to support@plumshot.app.

Do I pay for future versions?

No. Buy once and every future version is free.

Which payment methods can I use?

Cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, WeChat Pay, and more, right at checkout.

Can I get an invoice?

Every order generates a PDF invoice automatically. Download it any time from the link in your confirmation email.

Is the Screen Recording permission safe?

macOS requires it for every screenshot app; without it nothing can be captured. Your captures stay on your Mac.

After the trial, are my screenshots still there?

Yes. Capture History and your settings stay. Activate a license to keep capturing and annotating.

I have two Macs. What do I need?

Choose the 2-Mac license: one key activates on both. There's a 5-Mac license too, and a key you already have can take more Macs. Moving to a new Mac? Click “Deactivate This Mac” on the old one first.

Will the shortcuts clash with the system's?

Plumshot uses ⌘⇧3 and ⌘⇧4 like macOS and asks on first launch whether to take them over. Every other shortcut is yours to set.

Which Macs are supported?

macOS 14 Sonoma or later, on Apple silicon and Intel.
