Sharpshot – Support

Screenshots that come back exactly as they are: native pixels, no re-scaling, no watermark.

The shortcuts

They all start with ⌥⇧ out of the box, which keeps clear of the ⇧⌘ row macOS uses for its own screenshots.

Change any of them in Settings → Shortcuts. If one opens some other app instead, that app has taken it first — pick another. The Test a shortcut button there tells you whether the app is actually receiving it.

I get a black picture, or nothing happens

macOS needs to let the app see the screen. Open System Settings → Privacy & Security → Screen Recording and turn on the switch beside Sharpshot. (The button in the app takes you straight there.) Come back to the app and it retries by itself.

macOS files "take a screenshot" and "record video" under that one permission — there is no separate screenshot permission. Sharpshot reads one frame when you press a shortcut, and never records in the background.

Where did my shot go?

Not the Desktop. macOS's own screenshots land there; App Store apps can't write to the Desktop directly, so Sharpshot saves to ~/Pictures/Sharpshot/ by default. Want the Desktop? Settings → Saving → Choose Folder…, pick it once, and it's remembered.

Every shot also goes on the clipboard, so you can paste it straight away. Either behaviour can be turned off in Settings → General.

Lining up to the pixel

While you drag, the size and a magnifier follow the cursor. The arrow keys nudge the edge by 1 px, and with an arrow key moves by 10. C copies the colour under the magnifier in whichever of HEX, RGB, SwiftUI or NSColor you picked in Settings. cancels.

The dark band around your selection is the dimming, not the shot. The thin bright line is the edge: what falls inside it is exactly what you get. When your selection touches the edge of the screen, that line moves just inside the selection so it stays visible.

Annotating

Arrow, rectangle, ellipse, freehand, text, highlight, mosaic, numbered steps and crop, with undo and redo (⌘Z / ⇧⌘Z). Any colour, including a custom one. ⌘C copies the annotated shot, ⌘S saves it. Drawing stays inside the shot — you can't leave a mark on something that won't be there when you save.

The crop tool: drag the box, then press or click Crop to apply, or Cancel to drop it.

Dragging a shot into another app

Drag the handle at the bottom of the editor window into Finder, Mail, or a chat window. The file is only written when the other side takes it, so a cancelled drag leaves nothing behind. Dropping into Finder gives you a real file; dropping into most chat and mail apps attaches it directly.

The editor window disappeared behind something

Sharpshot lives in the menu bar, so by default it has no Dock icon — but while one of its windows is open it does appear in the Dock and in ⌘⇥, so you can get back to it. If you'd rather it always be in the Dock, Settings → General → Show a Dock icon.

Pinning

Pin puts the shot on top of every other window so you can work from it. Drag its edge to resize, scroll to zoom, and use the slider for opacity. ⌘W closes it.

Grabbing text

Text reads the words in a shot — Chinese and English — and puts them on the clipboard. QR codes and barcodes are recognised too. This runs on your Mac using Apple's Vision framework; nothing is uploaded. Recognition quality depends on the shot: small or heavily anti-aliased text comes back less reliably than a clean screenshot does.

Formats

PNG is lossless, so text stays sharp — it's the default. JPEG only loses quality when you ask for it. PDF is there for when the other side wants a document. Set it in Settings → Saving, along with the file-name pattern.

Sending a bug report

Menu bar → Copy diagnostics puts the version, your display's resolution and scale, and your settings on the clipboard. It contains no screen content and no personal data — have a look before you paste it. Email it to lsc7@foxmail.com with your macOS version and what you saw.

Buying it

One purchase, everything included, including every update to version 1. No account, no subscription, no in-app purchases, and no "Rate this app". Purchases and refunds are handled by Apple through the App Store.

Requirements

macOS 14 or later.


截得清 – 支持

截回来就是原样:原生像素、不重新缩放、不加水印。

快捷键

出厂全部用 ⌥⇧ 打头,躲开系统截图占的 ⇧⌘ 那一排。

设置 → 快捷键里随便改。如果按下去打开的是别的应用,说明那个组合被它先占了,换一个就行。那一页的「测一个快捷键」按钮可以告诉你应用到底有没有收到。

截出来是黑的,或者按了没反应

macOS 得先允许这个应用看屏幕。打开系统设置 → 隐私与安全性 → 屏幕录制,把截得清右边的开关打开(应用里的按钮会直接带你过去),回到应用它会自己再试一次。

macOS 把「截屏」和「录屏」归在这同一个权限底下,没有单独的截图权限。截得清只在你按下快捷键时取一帧,不会在后台录。

截的图存哪儿去了

不是桌面。系统自带的截图存桌面,但 App Store 上架的应用不能直接往桌面写,所以截得清默认存在 ~/Pictures/Sharpshot/。想要存桌面?设置 → 存储 → 选择文件夹…选一次,之后就记住了。

每张图同时也进剪贴板,可以直接粘。这两件事在设置 → 通用里各自都能关掉。

怎么对到像素

拖的时候尺寸和放大镜跟着光标走。方向键一次挪 1 像素, 加方向键一次挪 10。按 C 把放大镜中心的颜色复制走,格式是你在设置里选的 HEX / RGB / SwiftUI / NSColor 之一。 取消。

选区外面那圈暗的是遮罩,不是截图内容;那根细亮线才是边界,线以内就是你会拿到的东西。选区贴到屏幕边缘时,这根线会挪到选区里侧,保证你还看得见它。

标注

箭头、方框、椭圆、手绘、文字、高亮、马赛克、序号、裁剪,可以撤销重做(⌘Z / ⇧⌘Z),颜色随便挑,也能自定义。⌘C 复制标注后的图,⌘S 保存。画笔出不了图外——不会让你标在一个存下来就没有的地方。

裁剪:先拖出框,再按 或点裁剪生效, 或点取消放弃。

把图拖进别的应用

拖编辑窗口底部那个手柄,拖进访达、邮件或聊天窗口。只有对方真的接收了,文件才会写到盘上——拖到一半松手不会留下垃圾。拖进访达得到一个真文件,拖进多数聊天和邮件应用会直接作为附件。

编辑窗口被别的窗口挡没了

截得清住在菜单栏里,平时不占 Dock;但只要它自己的窗口开着,Dock 和 ⌘⇥ 里就有它,能切回来。想让它一直在 Dock 里,就开设置 → 通用 → 在 Dock 中显示图标

钉屏

钉住把截图放在所有窗口最上面,一边看一边干活。拖边框改大小,滚轮缩放,滑块调透明度,⌘W 关掉。

取字

取字把图里的文字读出来——中英文都行——直接进剪贴板,二维码和条形码也认。这一步用苹果的 Vision 框架在你自己的 Mac 上跑,不上传任何内容。认得准不准取决于原图:字很小或者边缘糊得厉害时,不如一张干净的截图认得稳。

格式

PNG 无损,字最清楚,也是默认。JPEG 只在你主动要的时候才掉画质。PDF 是给「对方想要一份文档」准备的。在设置 → 存储里选,文件名规则也在那儿。

报问题

菜单栏 → 复制诊断信息,把版本号、显示器分辨率和缩放、还有你的设置放到剪贴板上。里面没有任何屏幕内容和个人数据,粘出来之前可以自己先看一眼。连同你的 macOS 版本和当时看到的现象,写信到 lsc7@foxmail.com

关于购买

买一次,全都在里面,1.x 的更新也都在里面。没有账号、没有订阅、没有内购,也没有「给我们评分」。购买和退款都由苹果通过 App Store 处理。

系统要求
