• Show HN: Simple tool built for my manager is now becoming its own startup

  Not the person you’re replying to but CleanShotX [0] is my favorite tool for this. Yes macOS has improved their screenshot annotation tools but they suck compared to CleanShotX. I take way more screenshots now to covey information and it’s invaluable to quickly explain a UI. I make guides for work or my clients with it all the time. I use it to highlight the button they need to click, label “1”, “2”, “3”, for the... - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

  Absolutely - Especially because Screenshot software has come a _long_ way CleanShotX[1] is one of - if not _the_ best - piece of software I've ever payed for. It does one thing, and does it extremely well. 1. https://cleanshot.com/. - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

• "Your work is art. 🖼️ Frame it 🖼️ Portrait Mode for developers, now in Arc!" – The Browser Company (@browsercompany) via X

  No, it's taking a screenshot of the browser's content, then adding padding to the surrounding image, and letting you pick a colour for it. Screenshot Software like Cleanshot X and Xnapper have this feature built in, either as a default or as a customisable setting.They're basically making it unnecessary to use a third-party screenshot tool to achieve the same effect. Why would you want it? I have no clue.... Source: 5 months ago

• Show HN: Open-Source Alternative to Loom

  I churned with Loom too because I don't need the storage part and was looking for an alternative. I like the idea of an open-source Loom alternative. However, if anyone is looking, I found out that an old software I was using, Cleanshot[1], added the feature to record your webcam and screen with their recent update. I have started using it again. For the upload part (I don't use their cloud), either using Dropbox... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• Ask HN: Programs that saved you 100 hours? (2022 edition)

  Cleanshot X I'm a product designer. I spend a significant amount of time taking screenshots—dropping them in Figma, slacking them to PMs and annotating them for engineers. The tool keeps screenshots suspended on your desktop until you decide what to do with them—save, annotate or copy it to clipboard. It doesn't save the screenshots if you don't want it to, so it prevents a ton of clutter. Not to mention it has... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Frog: OCR Tool for Linux

  On a Mac, for ad-hoc OCR, I use the immensely useful CleanShot X https://cleanshot.com/ (which is well worth paying for). This does OCR of any region on the screen for larger-scale processing of pdfs and other files, I love how s3-ocr https://simonwillison.net/2022/Jun/30/s3-ocr/ makes working with AWS Textract OCR more accessible (though, somehow, Textract refuses to fully OCR larger pdfs I possess..). - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago
