macshot

macshot captures and annotates screenshots in one flow: press a hotkey, select a region or window, then draw arrows, text, shapes or blur and copy the result. It offers 19+ annotation tools, scrolling capture that stitches long pages automatically, OCR with translation and automatic redaction of personal information.

Screen recording saves MP4 or GIF with system audio and microphone, and a built-in editor lets you trim and export without leaving the app. It is a lightweight native Swift app that lives in the menu bar, is available in 40 languages, and is completely free with no subscription, making it an alternative to CleanShot X.
