Mark up screenshots on top of your screen — not in another window

A fast desktop screenshot tool that puts a fullscreen overlay on top of whatever you’re looking at — drag to select a region, then annotate in place. No separate editor window pulling you out of context. Available on macOS today; Windows is coming soon.

Overlay, select, annotate — still on your screen

Three steps on the fullscreen overlay — the same flow you use inside the app, without a detached editor.

Overlay & select

Snippy covers your screen with a fullscreen overlay on top of what you’re already viewing. Drag a rectangle to choose the region — context stays in view, with no separate capture window.

Annotate in place

Draw rectangles and arrows, add text, and pick preset colors while you’re still looking at the real screen — refine with undo and redo without jumping to another app window.

Copy the cropped region to the clipboard, save a PNG, or download from the floating toolbar on the overlay.

Everything you need to mark up a screen

Built around an on-screen overlay workflow — so you stay in context from capture to export.

Fullscreen overlay (not a separate editor)

Markup happens on an overlay above your desktop — unlike tools that yank you into a detached editor window after every capture.

Menu bar workflow

Stays in the menu bar so you can capture without a noisy dock-first app.

Global shortcut

Default ⌘⇧A for “Take screenshot” — change it anytime in Settings.

Sharp capture

ScreenCaptureKit capture tuned for best resolution on the display you’re on.

Shapes & text

Rectangles, arrows, and text annotations to point at what matters.

Preset colors

Quick color chips so markup stays consistent and fast.

Undo & redo

Step through annotation history without fighting the canvas.

Copy, save, download

Copy to the pasteboard, save a PNG, or use Download right from the overlay.

In-app updates

Get notified when a new version is available and install with one click.

Screen capture permission

Clear first-run guidance when your operating system needs permission to capture the screen.

Stay in context — no editor window in the way

Many screenshot apps open a separate window for every capture. Snippy keeps you on the fullscreen overlay: you see the real UI underneath, drag a rectangle to frame what matters, and mark it up there. It's intentionally focused — if you need a sprawling capture suite, there are heavier tools; Snippy aims to feel light, fast, and visually anchored to what you were already doing.

Frequently asked questions

How is Snippy different from other screenshot apps?: Snippy uses a fullscreen overlay on top of your desktop: you select a region and annotate while the real screen is still visible underneath. Many other tools jump you into a separate editor window after each capture — Snippy keeps markup on the overlay so you don’t lose context.
What platforms are supported?: Snippy is available on macOS today — check the app’s requirements or your download page for the exact minimum OS version. A Windows version is in development and will be announced here when it’s ready.
Why does Snippy ask for screen capture permission?: Your operating system requires this permission for apps that capture the screen. On macOS it appears as Screen Recording. Snippy uses it only to take screenshots you initiate — nothing runs in the background without your action.
How do updates work?: Snippy checks for updates and lets you know when a new version is ready. Install from the prompt when it suits you.
Is my data sent to the cloud?: There is no cloud feature right now. Snippy does not upload your screenshots or annotations anywhere — nothing is sent to the cloud for capture and markup. Everything stays on your device.
Where do I get a license key?: Purchase through the link on the Pricing page once checkout is configured. You’ll enter the key in the app’s License settings.
How do I report bugs or request features?: You can report bugs and request features directly from the app. You can also email support@snippy.page.
