Every screenshot, filed and found

Take screenshots the way you always do. Captr files each one by the app it came from, and finds it later by the words inside it.

The Captr library: a sidebar with Library, Kind and every source app with its icon and count, and a grid of screenshots grouped by day, each labelled with the app it came from
Search

Find screenshots by the words in them

Captr reads the text in every screenshot, so typing "quota exceeded" finds the screenshot of that error from last month. The matching line shows right on the card.

Or browse by the app a screenshot came from: Captr notices the app and window title when you capture, and lists every app in the sidebar with its icon.

Searching for quota: one result, the Atlas deploy log from Safari, with the matching text Deployment failed, quota exceeded under it
Menu bar

Your latest screenshots, one click away

Click the menu bar icon, or press ⌃⌥⌘S from any app, for your newest screenshots. Copy one, copy just its text, pin it, or drag it straight into Slack, Mail or a document.

After each capture, a small preview waits in the corner of the screen, ready to drag, copy, crop or delete. It never takes focus from what you're doing.

The menu bar panel: the latest screenshot large with Copy, Text, Pin, Show and Delete buttons, and a strip of recent screenshots below The corner preview after a capture: the new screenshot with buttons to copy, copy text, crop, pin or delete
Share safely

Hide private info before you share

Crop to the part that matters, and blur or black out anything private. Or click Find Private Info and Captr hides emails, phone numbers, card numbers and API keys for you.

Screen recordings get the same care: trim them, and export a GIF for tools that don't play video.

Tidy

Keep the good one, clear the rest

Captr finds duplicates and retakes, the five tries at getting a crop right, and keeps only the newest with one click.

  • Pin the screenshots you want to keep
  • Move unpinned screenshots to the Trash after 7, 14, 30 or 90 days
  • See where the space goes, by app and by month
  • Undo any delete for a few seconds

Rules

Rules for every app

Send Figma screenshots to Design/Figma, name Xcode screenshots with the window title and time, keep Slack screenshots for a week. Name templates use the app, window, date, time and size.

Rules by App: Figma to Design/Figma and renamed, Slack kept 7 days, Xcode renamed and kept 30 days, Safari to Web
Works with your Mac

Widget, Share menu and Shortcuts

Keep your newest screenshots on the desktop or in Notification Center. Send images and recordings to Captr from any app's Share menu.

Shortcuts actions get the latest screenshot, find screenshots by their text, or get the text of the latest one (macOS 13 and later). Spotlight can find them too, if you turn it on.

Made for the Mac

  • Files itself

    Screenshots move to your folder as you take them, grouped by app, by date, or both.

  • Quick Look and drag

    Space to preview, arrow keys to browse, drag into any app. Select several with ⌘ and ⇧.

  • Clipboard captures

    Screenshots you copy instead of save, with ⌃ in the shortcut, land in the library too.

  • Copy the text

    Grab what's written in a screenshot as text, from the library, the panel or the corner preview.

  • Storage at a glance

    How much space screenshots and recordings use, and one click to clear old ones.

  • Light and dark

    A native design that follows your Mac, for macOS 12 Monterey and later.

Private by design

Text recognition runs on your Mac. No accounts, no ads, no tracking, and your screenshots never leave your Mac. Read the privacy policy.

Never lose a screenshot on your Desktop again.
