KelpShot: a Mac screenshot app that hides private info in two clicks

Hey makers, Harry here

I share a lot of screenshots for work, and I kept leaking stuff by accident: emails, names, tokens in a terminal. So I built KelpShot, a native Mac screenshot app.

KelpShot 0.1.7: one click to capture, instant OCR (built from your feedback)

KelpShot 0.1.7 is out, and most of it came straight from users feedbacks:

  • One click to capture. Click the menu bar icon and you're already selecting. Right-click for the menu.

  • Same area again. The selection remembers your last area, so Return takes the same screenshot again.

  • Instant OCR. O, drag, and the text is on your clipboard, with a small preview so you know what you got.

  • Lighter. KelpShot now uses about half the memory after text recognition.

  • A new About window with your license and quick links.

If you already have KelpShot, it'll tell you about the update.

KelpShot - Screenshots that say what you mean.
