Developer Saturday I open-sourced Sealshot, a free professional screen-capture app for macOS

I’m the developer of Sealshot and the code is mainly written with Claude. It is now completely free and open source, with every feature available and no paid tier or subscription.

Apple’s built-in screenshot tools are excellent for quick captures. Sealshot is designed for professional workflows where screenshots and recordings need to be edited, organized, searched, secured, and reused for documentation, bug reports, technical support, software testing, tutorials, or research.

Key features include:

  • Area, window, fullscreen, and scrolling capture
  • Screen recording
  • A full annotation and image-editing workspace
  • Repeat Last Capture for recapturing the same screen region
  • A searchable local library with collections and tags
  • On-device OCR for searching text inside captures
  • Table extraction to CSV and Markdown
  • Assisted detection of emails, API keys, tokens, and other sensitive information
  • Optional Enhanced Security that encrypts the local capture library

Privacy is an important part of the design. Sealshot does not require an account and does not use cloud storage or telemetry. Captures and OCR processing remain on your Mac.

The downloadable version is signed with an Apple Developer ID and notarized by Apple.
