Record the walkthrough instead of writing three paragraphs.
Bug repros, feature demos, async updates. A short clip with click highlights and zoom says it better.
Instead of three paragraphs of steps to reproduce
Never explain it twice.
Screenshots with markup, screen recording with editing, audio, and web pages, in one Mac app with a library that keeps it all searchable. Make it once, and the next time someone asks, send a link instead of a paragraph.

One app instead of five.
Most people explain things with a patchwork: one app to grab the screen, another to mark it up, a recorder, an editor, a read-it-later list and a folder nobody can search. SuperCapture is all of them, with the same shortcuts and one place to find things later.
What you use now
Point at exactly what you mean.
- A region to the pixel, one window (even one hidden behind others) or every screen. Auto-scroll keeps going for long pages.
- Arrows, numbered steps, text, secure redaction and a magnifier, then a frame on a gradient for the launch post.
- Saved as standard PNG, then read for its text on your Mac, automatically.
- AArrow
- SStep
- TText
- RRedact
- MMagnify
- XCrop
⌃⇧C from any app ⌃⇧R repeats the last one
Annotating and redactingShow it once, cut to the part that matters.
- An area, a window or the full screen, with system audio and your mic.
- Every click highlighted, and zoom regions that follow the cursor.
- Keyframed arrows, text and shapes on the timeline, then MP4 (H.264 or H.265) or GIF.
⌃⇧V starts and stops ⌃⇧P pauses
Recording with audioRecord any sound your Mac plays, or your voice.
- A moment from a call, a video, a podcast or a demo: grab the audio from any app that’s playing, your microphone, or both.
- Edit it by editing the words: delete a sentence and it’s cut, and the ums go in one click.
- Then make it a 9:16 video, with captions and a visualizer that moves with the sound.
Close all those tabs, read them later.
- The article, the announcement, the competitor’s launch page, captured top to bottom with its link.
- Or bookmark it: a screenshot and its readable text come with it, into the Reader.
- Find a page again by typing what you remember from it.
Safari, Chrome, Brave and Firefox. Edge is coming soon.
All of it, in one library you can search.
- Pictures, recordings, audio, PDFs and saved pages side by side, in folders and collections.
- Search the words inside pictures, on-device tags, colors and kinds.
- A hidden view, a trash you can restore from, and commands for a whole selection at once.
S jumps to search
See it find somethingAlso in the box: slide decks paged into a PDF, QR codes and barcodes in your own colors, and the images on any web page saved straight to your library. Making a QR code
Show it instead of describing it.
Five tools are only worth it if they save you something. Every team has something it keeps putting into words: steps to reproduce, which button, where the setting is. Each of these used to be a paragraph, a meeting or a screen share. Now it’s one capture you send.
Annotate the build and drop it straight into Figma or Slack.
Pixel-perfect grabs, feedback arrows and polished frames. Drag and drop, no export dance.
Instead of “No, the other button. A few pixels lower.”
Answer the ticket with a marked-up screenshot, not a paragraph.
Numbered steps and an arrow to the right button. Keep it in a folder your team sharesPro, and the next time the question comes in, the answer is already there.
Instead of “Go to Settings, then Share Menu, then scroll to Slack…”
Ship the demo GIF without a production crew.
Looping GIFs, social clips and on-brand visuals, recorded, trimmed and exported from one app.
Instead of exporting frames, a GIF maker, resizing, exporting again
Send it. They just open a link.
Share any capture as a web page. Whoever gets the link opens it in a browser, with no account and no app, and can answer right on the picture.
The old way
- Export it
- Attach it
- “Which version is this?”
- Export it again
One link
Feedback where it belongsPro
Comments pinned to a spot in a picture or a moment in a recording, with replies that show up live. A recording’s feedback also appears in your Mac video editor.
Only the people you meantIndividual & Pro
Add a password or an expiry date. Share pages stay out of search engines, and you can take one down whenever you like.
A whole launch on one page
Up to 200 images or PDFs behind a single link.
Or skip the link
Drag a capture from the gallery straight into Slack, email, Figma or a doc, or press ⌘C and paste the finished, marked-up result.
Exports to the formats you actually use: PNGJPGWebPSVGPDFMP4MOVGIFAPNG. Free share pages carry light SuperCapture branding.
Six months later, someone asks again.
You don’t remember where you saved it, or when. You remember a couple of words that were on the screen. That’s enough.
The old way
- Search Slack
- Search Downloads
- Search the Desktop
- Ask whoever made it
- Explain it again
Type two words
The words in it
Every capture is read on your Mac, so any text that was on the screen is searchable.
What it shows
On-device tags sort captures into receipts, documents, apps, social posts and more.
Its colors
Type #darkblue or #F87171 to find pictures by color.
What kind it is
Type pdf:, video: or audio: to list one kind.
All of it is indexed on your Mac, and it stays quick with tens of thousands of captures.How screenshot search works
The answer outlives whoever wrote it.
Put it in a folder the team shares, and the next person to get the question finds your answer in their own library, not in your head.
The old way
- It lives on one laptop
- That person is out
- Someone explains it again
It's in everyone's library
It’s opt-in. Leave the cloud off and everything stays on your Mac.
Shared foldersPro
Share a folder with other SuperCapture accounts and it shows up in their library too, automatically.
Invite by email or link
As editors or viewers. You stay the owner, and you can stop sharing any time.
Sync only what you choose
Mark a folder or collection to sync and it follows you across your Macs, with iPhone and Android apps coming soon. Free syncs up to 500 items; Individual and Pro sync your whole library.
Buying for a team?
Pro for teams puts every seat on one invoice, with single sign-on, an admin console and audit log, and the option to keep originals in your own S3-compatible bucket. Get in touch and we’ll set it up.
Or let your agent make it.
SuperCapture runs an MCP server on your Mac. Claude Code, or any MCP client, can capture, record, mark up, search the library and share, through 24 tools that work the way the app does.
Its edits are undoable, and anything permanent or public, like deleting for good or publishing a page, waits for your OK.
The old way
- Take the screenshot
- Mark it up
- Save it
- Open Slack
- Upload it
Ask for it once
Setup is one command, copied from Settings.
How the MCP server worksYou: Grab the Slack settings, number the three steps to connect it, and post it to #support.
- statechecks what’s on screen
- view settingsopens Settings
- capture windowgrabs the Settings window
- doc_editnumbers the three steps and points at Connect Slack, as one undo
- share sendposts it to #support
Your captures. Your Mac. Your call.
Screens are full of things nobody else should see. So the default is simple: nothing leaves your Mac until you decide it should.
On your Mac, always
- Capture, editing, OCR, tagging and search
- All of it runs on your Mac. The on-device models never send a picture anywhere.
- Works offline
- Capture, mark up and search with no connection at all.
- No account to start
- Install it and capture. You only need an account for the cloud.
- Plain files
- PNG, MP4 and PDF that open in any app, now and later.
In the cloud, only if you turn it on
- The folders you choose to sync or share
- We never look at your captures, sell them, or share them with third parties for their own purposes.
- Share pages you publish
- Kept out of search engines. Anything you delete leaves our servers within 30 days.
- End-to-end encryption, if you want itPro
- Capture files are encrypted on your Mac before upload, so our servers hold only what they can’t read. Free and Individual sync use transport and storage encryption, without zero-knowledge protection. Compare encryption options.
