Around six months ago, I found myself frustrated with the limitations of the built-in Mac OS screenshot function. It felt clunky, and the editing options didn’t quite meet my quality standards. Seeking an upgrade, I stumbled upon CleanShot X, and I was blown away by its capabilities.
Discovering that CleanShot X was available on the SetApp App Store, where I had recently subscribed, was a pleasant surprise. Installation was seamless, and within moments, it seamlessly replaced the native tool. I was capturing, editing, and sharing screenshots effortlessly, whether it was dropping them into emails or texts or posting them on Imgur.com.
As I delved deeper, I realized CleanShot X had its own Cloud storage, requiring only a simple account creation. With a plethora of features at my fingertips, I barely scratched the surface of its potential.
Today, CleanShot X has become my primary image editor, seamlessly integrating into my workflow by registering itself to handle graphic formats within the contextual menu.
One standout feature is the ability to take multiple screenshots that neatly stack up in the corner of my screen, easily accessible for reference or further editing. The Capture History feature proved invaluable, especially considering that I typically discard around 80% of my shots.
CleanShot X‘s settings are extensive yet user-friendly, and the CleanShot.com website serves as a valuable resource for exploring the full potential of this powerful application.
Addressing common queries, CleanShot X simplifies the task of automatically naming screenshot files. Whether it’s incorporating the window title or the app name, it’s all seamlessly integrated into a straightforward drag-and-drop interface.
My time spent in the CleanShot X editor has been productive and rewarding. More often than not, the application already addresses any idea or requirement that crosses my mind.
Regardless of whether you’re a SetApp subscriber, CleanShot X deserves a spot in your digital toolkit. It’s undoubtedly become an indispensable part of my workflow, and I look forward to leveraging its capabilities in the future.
Oh, and one more thing—recently, I found myself in a chat with a website that lacked a log feature. But CleanShot X‘s scrolling feature came to the rescue, effortlessly providing me with a complete transcript of the chat.
Just last week, I was a TextSniper user, until I stumbled upon the magic letters “OCR” on their website, prompting me to streamline my toolkit and bid farewell to one tool.
The sheer number of features I’ve yet to explore, like screen recording to GIF or MP4 files, has me feeling like I’ve barely scratched the surface.
I highly encourage you to delve into their feature set, which showcases functionalities I haven’t even mentioned yet, presented in stunning detail. I’ll definitely be updating this review as I continue to uncover more.
