ShotBrew is the all-in-one capture studio for your Mac. Take pixel-perfect screenshots, record polished screen videos, and edit everything in a built-in editor — without ever leaving the app. No subscriptions to third-party clouds, no uploads: everything runs 100% natively and on-device.

Capture anything

• Screenshots — fullscreen, area, window, or scrolling capture of entire pages

• Screen recording — full screen, area, or a single app (the rest of your desktop stays private)

• Screen freeze & timer — catch disappearing menus and hover states

• Pin, history, quick access — your captures are always one click away

Record like a pro

• Cinematic auto-zoom — the camera smoothly zooms into your clicks, Screen Studio-style

• Cursor effects — spotlight, click ripples, enlarged cursor, motion smoothing

• Studio Mic — one-click voice cleanup: removes keyboard noise, fans, and room hum

• System audio + microphone, pause/resume, GIF recording

Edit right inside the app

A full CapCut-style video editor: multi-clip timeline, cuts, speed ramps, freeze frames, transitions, crop and Ken Burns zoom, background blur behind you, blur/pixelate regions, arrows and spotlights, picture-in-picture, styled captions with animations — plus on-device auto-captions, edit-by-transcript (delete words to cut video), silence removal, and audio ducking.

Power tools included

• OCR — grab text from anywhere on screen, even translate it on the fly

• Annotate — arrows, text, blur, magnifier callouts, numbered markers

• Backgrounds — beautiful gradient frames for social-ready screenshots

• Color picker, WCAG contrast checker, QR scanner, screen ruler, PDF export

Private by design

No external dependencies, no analytics, no cloud processing. Speech recognition, face blur, and OCR all run locally on your Mac. Requires macOS 14 (Sonoma) or later.

One app instead of four. Capture, record, edit, ship.
