Capture without ceremony
Fast screen capture for Mac, ready when you are
Snip Halo gives your Mac quick region and full-screen capture, a floating thumbnail, local history, and a focused editor for $9 once.
Built for “screen capture for Mac” intent—without pretending Snip Halo records video, captures scrolling pages, or includes OCR.
Astro keyword research showed “screen capture” as the strongest relevant term in this category. Snip Halo answers that intent with a native workflow: press a shortcut, select pixels, and immediately decide what should happen next.
Why it fits
A focused answer to the job.
Every feature below exists in the current Snip Halo app—not on a someday roadmap.
Recent history
Return to your 20 most recent captures without searching the Desktop.
Drag anywhere
Move a PNG directly from the floating preview or editor into another app.
No background recording
Screen permission is used only when you intentionally capture pixels.
The workflow
From shortcut to useful image.
Snip Halo is designed to keep the capture moving rather than becoming a project of its own.

Frequently asked
What to know.
Why does macOS ask for Screen Recording permission?
macOS uses that permission for any app that reads screen pixels. Snip Halo does not record video or capture in the background.
Can I change the keyboard shortcuts?
Yes. Region capture, full-screen capture, copy, save, and edit shortcuts are configurable.
Can I capture a scrolling page?
Snip Halo does not currently capture scrolling pages. It captures a selected region or a full display.
$9 once. No subscription.
