On a Mac

A screenshot tool for Mac that sits quietly in the menu bar.

  • Lives in the menu bar

    No window and no Dock icon. It waits in the menu bar until you press the keys.

  • One download, checked by Apple

    The same download runs on Apple silicon and Intel Macs, and macOS opens it without a warning.

  • Asks for one permission, once

    macOS asks before any app can see the screen. Switch VizShot on once in System Settings and you are done.

  • Updates when you say so

    VizShot tells you when a new version is ready. Update now, or let it go in when you quit.

Questions

Asked, and answered.

Does a Mac already have a screenshot tool?

Yes. Shift-Command-5 opens Screenshot, which comes with macOS. VizShot adds an editor with thirteen tools, backdrops and a link to share from your own storage.

Which macOS do I need?

macOS 14 Sonoma or later, on an Apple silicon or Intel Mac.

Why does it ask for permission?

macOS asks before any app can see your screen. You switch VizShot on once in System Settings, and nothing leaves your computer because of it.

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.

Can I use the same key on my PC?

Yes. One key covers two computers, in any mix of Mac and Windows.
