One of the few apps I use on an almost daily basis. Fast, well designed, and frequently updated.

Super super excited for this new, expanded version of CleanShot! The scrolling capture alone is worth the price of admission (I'd been using Xnip for this previously).

Effective and, today, a must-have in my system. There are things to improve, but not significant enough to name them—or to look elsewhere. It’s like wearing an old jacket; it’s comfy, but a new one might fit better.
