About ScreenSnap Pro
Pay once, own forever. ScreenSnap Pro is the screenshot and screen recording app for Mac and Windows, built for developers, designers, and creators who want beautiful captures, pro annotations, and instant cloud links — no subscription, no recurring fees.
Meet the maker
Morgan — founder & developer
I've spent more than a decade shipping consumer Mac apps and developer tools. ScreenSnap Pro is the screenshot tool I always wished existed — beautiful by default, fast on Apple Silicon and Windows, honest about what it does and doesn't do, and a single $29 instead of a monthly subscription.
The site is bootstrapped and profitable. There's no VC, no investors, and no upgrade fees. Updates are free for life — that's how a tool you actually own is supposed to work.
