I built a tiny, free macOS screenshot tool for quick annotations and blurring
redditby Inside_Rip_91911 month ago1 points

Hey! I’ve been working on this utility for a while. It’s a native macOS app for screenshots. I wanted a fast tool with a clean UI that doesn't require a subscription. Basic annotations (arrows, text, shapes) and a blur tool. It's currently free. It’s not open-source, just a project I’m building for fun. I'm curious what you guys think about the UI and what features I should add next. [https://github.com/levskiy0/skreenme](https://github.com/levskiy0/skreenme)
