What is Ksnip?
Ksnip combines screen capture with an annotation editor. On macOS, its documented capture modes include a rectangular area, the last selected area, the current screen and all screens. A capture delay helps when preparing a menu or another temporary screen state. You can also open an existing image or paste one from the clipboard instead of taking a new screenshot.
The editor provides pen and marker tools, shapes, text, numbered annotations and stickers. Crop an image to the relevant detail, or use blur and pixelation to obscure an area before sharing. Tabs keep multiple screenshots and images available in the same window.
This download is the publisher's version 1.10.1 macOS app in a DMG, released on March 15, 2023. The project's current development README displays 1.11.0; that is not the version of the linked package. The publisher's macOS capture table does not list active-window capture or capture without the mouse cursor, and global capture hotkeys are documented only for Windows and X11. Check the older release's suitability for your Mac: the cited package listing does not establish a minimum macOS version or Apple Silicon support.
The screenshot is the publisher's cross-platform editor example, shown with Linux window decoration. It illustrates the annotation tools, not the appearance of a tested macOS installation.

Good to know

- The linked 1.10.1 DMG dates from March 2023. Minimum macOS version and Apple Silicon compatibility are not established by the cited release listing.
