When you're spread out, communication gets harder. We built Zappy to help. Our remote team of 300+ uses Zappy daily to share annotated screenshots, GIFs, and recordings in just a few clicks. Today we're releasing it for free.

Hey Product Hunt 👋 Mike here, Head of Labs and co-founder at Zapier. We know remote work comes with new challenges. Over the last 8+ years, we've grown Zapier to 300+ employees across 17 time zones. And along the way, we've discovered effective ways to collaborate without an office. Zappy is a cornerstone tool that increases the bandwidth of our team's communication. It's an all-in-one screen-capture app that we built ourselves. You can use it to annotate screenshots, make GIFs, and record your screen in fewer steps than with most built-in tools. Since a lot of the world is suddenly working remotely, we’re releasing a public version of Zappy for free. We've found it to be an invaluable tool for sharing images in Slack, emails, and everywhere else. We hope Zappy helps you and your team move faster, even when you’re not in the same location. Zappy is still in early access, so there might be some rough edges to smooth out. We're also working on features like: - Self-hosted storage via Amazon S3 - Capture retention + access settings - A Zapier integration :-) A bonus for paid Zapier customers: Auto-uploads to the cloud. We host those uploads and add a link to your clipboard automatically. It's great for markdown or adding text links to tutorials. We hope you like it, and if you have any feedback, let us know!

@mikeknoop love it! Was just recommending cloudapp to a family member at dinner last night as she was looking for exactly this. Zappy looks cleaner and more simple though - with that, any plans for Windows/Chrome Extension? Keep up the awesome work!

I've been using Zappy over a year internally. It definitely is one of my favorite tools we use at Zapier. A fast screenshot tool is necessary for remote teams and Zappy is by far the fastest I have used.

Hey all, Mirko here from Blackbelt Labs who co-built Zappy with Mike and the Zapier team. From all the apps we've built over the years, Zappy is the one that gets by far my most personal usage. Excited to get this out publicly and looking forward to feedback from early access users!

Can you screenshot pages that require scrolling? For example, long sales pages?

@swaycopy sort of, but it requires being crafty. Zappy has a feature that let's you "pin" multiple captures as floating windows -- this lets you reposition parts of the screen that normally are not next to each other. You can then take another screenshot of the mashup. It's imperfect if you want to screenshot an entire webpage because your screen size is still the limiting factor. We'll consider how to address this. Good feedback!

@mikeknoop Awesome. There are tools that do this, but they always seem to be a little janky. Would be great to have this ability in a tool that is as polished as Zapier (and, I'm sure, Zappy).

I'm biased probably, but I have LOVED using Zappy over the last year. Super clean and easy to use.

A really important and useful tool for product managers. Capture a screenshot, annotate it really quickly and share it on Slack. Even if you are not remote, still a really useful tool!
