With Monosnap, when you start to take a screenshot, you not only get a set of crosshairs that go top to bottom and left to right on the screen (which is great) but the corner you’re grabbing even shows a little zoomed-up area to show you exactly where you’re grabbing. When you take a screenshot, sometimes it’s a little bit tricky to grab exactly what you want on screen. That’s sort of the minimum we require from one of these apps. You can pull down on the menubar app to invoke them, or you can use keystrokes and the keystrokes can be changed in preferences. Monosnap can do the usual tricks of capturing an area, a window, or full screen. On the Mac, Monosnap installs as a menubar app, which for this kind of tool is really the best way. Monosnap is available for free for the Mac and Windows and has an in-app purchase option that seems useful enough that this could be a viable business. As useful as that is, the annotation tools are really limited.Ĭlaus Wolf tipped me off to what might be an even better app called Monosnap, from. Its big advantage is that it allows you to instantly upload to the web and copy the URL to your clipboard so you can insert the screenshot into any place that only allows text. I’ve most recently told you about TeamPaper Snap which is a somewhat limited, but still useful menubar app for screenshots. You know I’m a fiend for taking screenshots and annotating them.
