Better Shot

Better Shot is an open‑source screenshot utility for macOS that lets users capture regions, full screens, or individual windows with pixel‑accurate precision. It supports global hotkeys that function even when the application is hidden, enabling quick access from any context. Captured images can be saved instantly with a default background applied automatically, eliminating the need to open a separate editor for basic styling.

The tool includes a set of annotation features such as shapes, arrows, text, and numbered labels, each configurable for color, opacity, border width, and alignment. Users can also customize preferences, including default background images and keyboard shortcuts, to fit their personal workflow.

Designed as a free alternative to commercial screenshot solutions, Better Shot targets developers, creators, and anyone who regularly needs to capture and enhance screenshots on macOS. Its stable release provides a straightforward capture‑edit‑share pipeline without requiring additional subscriptions.
