Kingfont
A Mac screenshot app is worth keeping when it can finish the shot you actually need, then get out of the way. That usually means five jobs: a rectangle you drag, one window, a page that scrolls, the whole display, and a recording. Shoverlay keeps those modes in the menu bar on macOS 11.5 or later. Captures stay on your Mac. There is no Kingfont account and no usage tracking.
Pick the mode as you capture
Click the menu bar icon, or press the shortcut you set. All-In-One opens a picker so you can choose the mode on the spot. You can also jump straight to a mode from the menu if you already know which one you want.
- Area — drag a rectangle. You can lock an aspect ratio or type a pixel size.
- Previous Area — recapture the last rectangle without dragging again.
- Window — click one app window.
- Scrolling — stitch a long page into one image.
- Fullscreen — the whole display.
- Timer — delay the shot so a hover menu stays visible.
- OCR — copy the words in an area.
- Record — video or an animated image of an area, a window, or the full screen.
Decide what happens next
After a still shot, Quick Access lets you copy, save, annotate, or pin. In Settings you can make one of those the default, or do nothing and decide each time. History keeps recent captures so you can reopen them. Still images export as PNG, JPEG, TIFF, or WebP.
Grant access once
Screenshots, scrolling capture, and screen recording need Screen Recording in System Settings → Privacy & Security. Microphone and Camera are only for a voice track or a webcam overlay. The first save into Downloads, Desktop, or Documents may ask for folder access. If a capture does nothing, grant the permission, then quit Shoverlay and open it again.
Install Shoverlay on the Mac App Store. Shortcuts for each mode are in Settings. A Dock icon is optional.
