Annotate screenshots on Mac without opening a design app
Mark up screenshots on Mac with arrows, text, shapes, blur, and automatic step markers, then copy or drag the result anywhere.
Built for “annotate screenshots on Mac” intent—without pretending Snip Halo records video, captures scrolling pages, or includes OCR.
Support replies, bug reports, product reviews, and tutorials all need the same thing: clarity. Snip Halo gives you the annotation tools that make a screenshot self-explanatory, directly after capture.
Why it fits
A focused answer to the job.
Every feature below exists in the current Snip Halo app—not on a someday roadmap.
Blur
Obscure names, tokens, private messages, or other details before sharing.
Step markers
Place automatic 1–2–3 or A–B–C markers for instructions and walkthroughs.
Text labels
Add short explanations in the same editor and change their color and size.
The workflow
From shortcut to useful image.
Snip Halo is designed to keep the capture moving rather than becoming a project of its own.
