About capcap
capcap is a lightweight, native macOS screenshot tool that operates from the menu bar. It allows users to capture screen regions instantly with a double-tap of the Command key, copying the screenshot to the clipboard or enabling annotation with pen and mosaic tools first.
The tool supports various functionalities including window snapping, precise region selection, scrolling screenshots, and direct editing of existing images from Finder. It is designed to be unobtrusive, running as a menu bar app without occupying the Dock, and emphasizes privacy with no telemetry or third-party dependencies.
Users can customize their screenshots with a range of editing tools such as arrows, numbers, text, highlights, and mosaics. The editor supports undo/redo operations, and edited screenshots can be pinned on top of other windows for reference. The tool also includes features for beautifying screenshots with backgrounds, rounded corners, and shadows.
