CleanShot X Product Hunt

First post from the founder!

<p><b>CleanShot X is a Mac app that helps you capture, edit, and annotate stunning screenshots and screen recordings effortlessly.</b></p>

<p></p>


<p>CleanShot X lets you&nbsp;<b>annotate your screenshots in seconds</b> with a dozen easy-to-use editing tools.</p>

<p>You can<b> highlight, underline, circle, and create arrows </b>to draw attention to specific areas of your screenshot.</p>

<p>Once you’ve got your viewer looking at the right places, you can<b> block out, pixel blur, and crop</b> to remove any distracting or private information.</p>

<p>You'll even be able to<b>&nbsp;take a scrolling capture of any app</b>,&nbsp;so you don’t have to worry about stitching together multiple screenshots.</p>
