Katana

Katana is a macOS‑only screenshot tool that resides in the menu bar, keeping the dock free of additional icons. After capturing a screen region, the image can be uploaded directly to a variety of hosts such as Imgur and Pomf, and the resulting URL is placed on the clipboard. The utility also offers a quick link‑shortening feature that activates automatically when a URL is copied, and it accepts files dragged onto the menu‑bar icon for immediate upload.

Users can configure keyboard shortcuts and other preferences through a simple settings pane, allowing the workflow to be tailored to individual needs. The application’s open‑source nature means the code is publicly available under the GPL‑3.0 license, and releases are distributed via the project's GitHub page. Continuous updates add new functionality over time, while the menu‑bar presence ensures the tool remains unobtrusive.
