Region or full screen
Use configurable global shortcuts without hunting through menus.
A lighter Mac screenshot workflow
A screenshot tool for Mac that stays fast and focused
Capture any region or your full Mac screen, annotate it, and copy, save, drag, or share it from one focused app. Snip Halo is $9 once.
Built for “screenshot tool for Mac” intent—without pretending Snip Halo records video, captures scrolling pages, or includes OCR.
Snip Halo is built for the everyday job between the macOS screenshot shortcut and a heavyweight creative suite. Use a global shortcut, capture exactly what you need, then move the result into Messages, Slack, email, a document, or Google Drive.
Why it fits
A focused answer to the job.
Every feature below exists in the current Snip Halo app—not on a someday roadmap.
A useful floating preview
Copy, save, edit, upload, or drag the capture straight into another app.
Retina-ready output
Keep the sharp pixel density of the original Mac display when exporting PNG files.
Local first
Your recent captures stay on your Mac and nothing uploads automatically.
The workflow
From shortcut to useful image.
Snip Halo is designed to keep the capture moving rather than becoming a project of its own.
