Annotate

Annotate is a handy tool for anyone looking to capture and edit desktop screenshots. While your Mac has some built-in options, it's pretty basic. If you want to take things up a notch and share your images easily, that's where Annotate comes in!

Simplifying Screenshot Captures

With Annotate, you can quickly grab images right from your screen. The app sits in your status bar, making it super easy to choose whether you want to capture a full window or just a specific area with the crosshair feature. Plus, there are default hotkeys that help speed things up even more!

Edit Your Screenshots with Ease

Once you've captured an image, Annotate automatically opens it in its built-in editor. This means you can add text annotations or doodle with the freehand drawing tool! Want to crop that image down? No problem! It's all right there.

Easily Share Your Work

After editing, sharing your images is a breeze. You can link Annotate to your Dropbox or Apple Cloud account and upload pictures with just a click! Not only that, but you can also copy the images directly to the clipboard, share them through email or Messages, post them on Twitter or Facebook, or save them straight to your computer.

A Simple Workflow for Everyone

The best part about using Annotate? It keeps everything simple! You won't need multiple apps or services cluttering up your workflow. Even if you're not tech-savvy, you'll find it easy to navigate and use.

Some Limitations to Keep in Mind

That said, while Annotate does offer some great features, it's not without its limits. For instance, you can't take delayed screenshots and the drawing tools are quite basic. Also, uploading images beyond Dropbox and Apple Cloud isn't an option—no FTP uploads here!
