Screenshots on a Mac, without the keyboard gymnastics.

You know the shortcut is ⌘⇧⌃4 or ⌘⇧5 or something with four fingers. You can never remember. The file ends up on the desktop — or the clipboard — or nowhere — and you end up taking a photo of the screen with your phone. Snip fixes that. It sits in your menu bar as one friendly scissors icon. Click it, drag a box around what you want, done. The image goes straight to your clipboard, ready to paste into an email, and a copy is saved to a folder you actually chose.

Why people give up on Mac screenshots

• The shortcut is four keys held at once — arthritis, cold hands, or just a bad day all break it.
• The screenshot lands on the Desktop and clutters it until the Mac feels "slow".
• The preview floats in the corner for five seconds and disappears before you can drag it.
• There's no obvious button anywhere. Nothing to click. Nothing to point at when helping a parent over the phone.

Before Snip / After Snip

Drag the slider. On the left, the built-in macOS screenshot flow — keyboard shortcut, floating thumbnail that vanishes, file on the Desktop, maybe. On the right, Snip — one click in the menu bar, drag to select, copy + save, done. Nothing to memorize.

What Snip does

• One scissors icon in the menu bar — visible, clickable, always there.
• Click, drag a box, release. That's the whole gesture.
• The screenshot is copied to the clipboard and saved to the folder you picked during setup.
• A big, slow-fade confirmation — you can actually see it worked.
• Large-type onboarding that walks you through granting Screen Recording permission step by step.
• Optional global shortcut if you want one — but you never have to use it.

Built for people who hate software

• Designed with parents, grandparents, and "I'm not a computer person" users in mind.
• Every screen has one big button and one clear sentence. No settings maze.
• System font, native title bar, real macOS vibrancy — feels like an Apple app, not an Electron mess.
• Works on Apple Silicon and Intel Macs (macOS 12+).
• No account. No subscription. No cloud. Your screenshots never leave your Mac.
• One-time payment. Lifetime updates on the lifetime tier.
• Email support answered by a human, usually within a day.

30-day no-questions refund

What you need
