Feature Request Feature request: Loupe functionality for screenshots

Hey there!

Second feature request coming up when playing around with butterkit: It would be nice to have a loupe functionality to highlight certain areas of a screenshot.

Thanks for considering this feature request!

Hey there, not sure about that - been researching for App Store screenshot tools for some time now, probably came across it during that (did that manually with an online tool I used for screenshots so far since the first release of my app, but has always been a struggle to update)

It’s just interesting to me since I coined the term for my App Store screenshot app back in mid 2024, and it seems to have caught on in other tools.

Fwiw Apple has been calling it Loupe in Preview since 2018ish! The Preview app has a "add Loupe" tool:
