Three steps. Nothing gets in the way.
Frame what matters
Capture a region, a window, the full display, or a scrolling page.
Make your point
Add arrows, text, numbered steps, highlights, or mosaic before you share.
Put it to work
Copy it, save it, pin it, read the text, sample a color, or open the file.
A screenshot should be useful after you take it.
01
A smaller window. The same useful tools.
Capture, annotate, recognize text, pick colors and export from a compact control center.
02
Copy the words, not the pixels
Recognize text from a selection or your latest capture on your Mac. Edit it, then copy.
03
Pick the pixel. Copy the value.
Use the loupe to inspect a pixel and copy HEX, RGB, HSL, or NSColor.
04
Save it the way you want it
Choose the folder, format, quality, and file name before the capture leaves Shotlane.
05
Make the important part clear
Add arrows, text, numbers, highlights, or mosaic. Adjust color, size, and opacity; undo an edit, then copy, save, or pin.

Scroll at your own pace
Select an area, scroll it yourself, then click Finish. Shotlane stitches the capture and lets you save or copy it.
Your screen stays on your Mac.
Shotlane keeps screenshots and recognized text on your Mac unless you choose to share them.
No screenshot uploads
Shotlane has no screenshot cloud sync or upload path.
OCR runs on your Mac
Apple Vision and the optional bundled OCR engine both run locally.
No analytics SDKs
There is no analytics, telemetry, crash reporting, or remote diagnostics SDK.

Exports go to local folders you control. Cleanup always asks first.

Clear steps for longer pages, text in images, and useful annotations.
