Asked, and answered.
Is there a CleanShot X for Windows?
No. CleanShot’s own site says there is no Windows version and no plan for one at the moment. VizShot is a separate app by a different developer.
Is VizShot a copy of CleanShot X?
No. It is its own app, made to stay simple: capture, markup, recording and share links, the same on a PC and a Mac.
Can I use one key on my Mac and my PC?
Yes. One key covers two computers, in any mix of Mac and Windows.
What happens after the 14 days?
You get 14 days with every feature. After that, VizShot keeps taking screenshots, but saving, uploading and recording need a key.
Do I need an account?
No. Download it and start. You only give an email address when you buy a key.
