SafeShot - AI Screenshots

About this app

SafeShot is a privacy-first screenshot tool for macOS. Capture, annotate, and share — without leaking sensitive data. Built for developers who code with AI. Capture a region, annotate what matters, press Enter — the file path is in your clipboard, ready to paste into Claude Code, Cursor, or any AI terminal. No cloud. No tracking. No subscription. Your screenshots never leave your Mac. WHY SAFESHOT Screenshots contain passwords, API keys, private messages, and internal dashboards. Most screenshot tools upload to the cloud or leave files scattered across your system. SafeShot keeps everything local and cleans up after itself. KEY FEATURES Annotation Tools Arrow, rectangle, ellipse, line, pen, text — mark up screenshots before sharing. Mosaic tool to blur sensitive areas in one stroke. Text Recognition (OCR) Extract text from any screenshot instantly. Recognized text is copied to your clipboard automatically — paste it as text, not as an image. On-Device Translation Translate extracted text into 12 languages directly on your Mac. No cloud APIs. No data sent anywhere. Auto-Clear Clipboard Screenshots with sensitive data shouldn't linger in your clipboard. SafeShot clears it automatically after a configurable timeout. Auto-Delete Screenshots Set a retention period — 1 day, 7 days, 30 days, or 90 days. Old screenshots are removed automatically. Copy File Path (Cmd+Shift+C) One shortcut copies the file path to your clipboard as plain text. Paste it into Claude Code, terminal, documentation, or issue trackers. Window Detection Hover over a window and click to capture it instantly. Drag to select a custom region. Your choice. Custom Save Location Choose where screenshots are saved. SafeShot remembers your folder across restarts with no extra permissions prompts. Menubar Utility Lightweight, always available. Global hotkey works from any app, even when SafeShot is in the background. BUILT FOR — Developers sharing screenshots with AI coding assistants — Teams working with sensitive or internal tools — Anyone who wants screenshots that don't pile up or leak No accounts. No servers. No data collected. One-time purchase. Screenshots you control.

Also in this update: - Keyboard shortcuts shown in toolbar tooltips - Toolbar stays on screen for full-screen captures - Confirmation toasts for save actions

Momentum comes from crawler snapshots for the tracked storefront. “Viral growth signal” means unusually fast recent rating gains; it is an indicator, not download data.
