Every screenshot, right where you left it.

ShotMark is a tiny macOS companion that catches every screenshot you take, keeps them a hotkey away, and lets you annotate, beautify, and pin in seconds. Built for people who live in ⌘⇧4 — designers, devs, and anyone deep in vibe-coding with an AI chat.

01 — FEATURES

Small app, sharp edges.

01 / catch

Catches every shot, automatically.

ShotMark watches your clipboard and your Desktop — so the moment you hit ⌘⇧4 or ⌘⇧⌃4, the image lands in your tray. No "save as", no dragging from the Desktop.

02 / recall

Flip through recent shots with a hotkey.

A floating glass tray — summon it from anywhere, pick the shot you want, paste it into Claude, Cursor, Figma, Slack. Close. Back to flow.

03 / annotate

Arrows, text, shapes, blur.

Fast markup tools: rectangles, arrows, freehand pen, counters, stamps, emojis, and a blur brush for sensitive info. Keyboard-first.

04 / beautify

Ten gradient backdrops.

Sunset, Ocean, Dusk, Forest, Mono, Rose, Violet, Mint, Coral, Slate. Or solid, or transparent. One click to make a raw shot look deliberate.

05 / pin

Pin shots on top.

Keep a reference image floating above every app — compare, copy details, or keep a design spec in view while you build.

06 / hotkeys

Global hotkeys, zero permissions.

Built on macOS's native Carbon hotkey API — no Accessibility prompt, no creepy permissions. Set your own shortcuts in Settings.

02 — WHY IT EXISTS

A little tool, made on purpose.

I kept losing screenshots mid-prompt.

I spend half my day pasting screenshots into AI chats — "here's the bug," "here's the design," "here's the error." The built-in macOS flow wasn't built for that: shots scatter on your Desktop, old ones disappear into a folder, and you can't quickly grab the one from two minutes ago.

So I built the tray I wanted: a hotkey-summoned panel of my last N shots, with just enough markup and polish tools to make them ship-worthy. That's ShotMark. It's small. It's free. If it helps you too, a coffee keeps it going.

ShotMark is free. Coffee keeps it alive.

No paywall, no telemetry, no account. If it earns a spot in your dock, consider tipping a coffee or two. It pays for the Apple Developer fee, the domain, and the occasional weekend fixing things.

03 — FAQ

Quick answers.

When can I download it?

Soon. I'm waiting on my Apple Developer ID so the app opens without scary Gatekeeper warnings. Join the list above and you'll be first to know.

What macOS do I need?

macOS 14 Sonoma or newer. Apple Silicon and Intel both supported.

Does it replace macOS's built-in screenshot tool?

No — it works alongside it. Keep pressing ⌘⇧4 the same way. ShotMark just catches the result.

Is it really free?

Yes. I built it for myself and it works. If it becomes useful to you, a coffee keeps me funding the Developer ID and the domain.

Will it ever be a paid app?

The core will always be free. If a "Pro" tier happens later, it'll be optional extras — never a lock on features that ship today.

Any data leaves my Mac?

No. Screenshots stay on your machine. No analytics, no account, no cloud. You own your shots.
