aSnap

A fast, lightweight screenshot tool that lives in your menu bar.

Capture regions, scrolling pages, and full screens — then annotate, OCR, pin, and share, all without leaving your keyboard.

About the preview

aSnap is in public preview. Preview builds are free to use and each build is valid for 180 days from its release date (the exact date is shown in every release's notes).

When a build reaches the end of its window, screenshot capture is paused:

• ✅ Ink, laser pointer, and pinned images keep working
• ✅ Your capture history stays accessible — open, copy, save, and pin earlier screenshots at any time
• ⛔ New captures (region, scroll, full screen, OCR) are paused

Download the newest preview from the Releases page to pick up right where you left off. The app also shows a notice in its menu bar menu when a newer preview is available.

Install

1. Download the .dmg from the latest release.
2. Open it and drag aSnap into Applications.
3. Launch aSnap from Applications — it appears in your menu bar.

On first use, macOS will prompt for Screen Recording and Accessibility permissions (System Settings → Privacy & Security).

Requirements: macOS on Apple Silicon or Intel (universal binary).

Highlights

• Capture modes — Region (⌘⇧1) with window/element snapping, Scroll (⌘⇧2) that auto-scrolls and stitches long content, Full Screen (⌘⇧3), and Pin (⌘⇧P) to float a screenshot above all windows
• Region selection — freeform drag or auto-snap to windows and UI elements, resize handles, and a 10x magnifier loupe with pixel coordinates
• Annotations — shapes, arrows, freehand pencil and marker, mosaic (pixelate/blur) redaction, number stamps, and text, with undo/redo
• OCR & QR — extract text from screenshots and copy it instantly; QR codes are auto-detected and one click copies their contents
• Screen presentation — draw on screen with Ink or point with the Laser during demos and calls
• Quick actions — copy PNG straight to the clipboard, save with auto-generated filenames, pin, or discard with Escape

Feedback

Found a bug or have a suggestion? Please open an issue — feedback during the preview directly shapes the 1.0 release.

When reporting a bug, it helps to include:

• The preview version (aSnap menu → Settings, or the DMG file name)
• Your macOS version
• Steps to reproduce, and a screenshot or recording if the issue is visual
