Mika+ScreenSnap

Screenshots, annotated before you switch windows.


Screenshots, annotated in place. A menu bar companion for macOS that captures, marks up, reads text, picks colours and measures pixels — without ever taking over your screen. The editor opens the moment you capture. Mark it up, pull the text out of it, sample a colour, then copy or save — all before the thought leaves your head. It lives in the menu bar and is never in your way: no Dock icon, no window stealing focus. No account, no telemetry.

Features

  • Three capture modes: Full screen, a dragged region, or a single window — each on its own global shortcut, straight from the menu bar.
  • Eleven annotation tools: Arrow, rectangle, ellipse, line, freehand, text, highlight, blur, pixelate, selection and a ruler. Hold Shift to snap to 45°.
  • Text extraction: Drag over any region and the recognised text lands on your clipboard. Handles English, German and French.
  • Colour picker: A magnifying loupe follows the cursor at 8× zoom. Click to copy, Shift-click to keep it in a palette, with a history of the last ten.
  • Pixel measurement: A full-screen ruler with guide lines and point-to-point or rectangle modes. Also available inside the editor — and never exported.
  • Pinned screenshots: Float any capture above every other window. Scroll to fade it, Shift-drag to resize. Pins survive a restart.
  • Auto-save and history: Captures are filed away automatically. A searchable thumbnail browser is one shortcut away.
  • Yours to configure: Rebind every shortcut with conflict detection, set annotation defaults, choose the output folder and format, and launch at login.
