Daniel Jalkut was asking on Twitter about screenshot apps.
Skitch for Mac seems possibly abandoned, and has become very buggy in 10.13. What are folks’ favorite Mac screenshot tools these days?

He got a bunch of responses for many different apps. Macfixer suggested one I hadn’t heard about:
I’ve been using ShotBox recently, it’s totally a “duh, why didn’t I think of that?” kind of app:https://t.co/j3r5Q4lRHQ

So I checked it out. The developer, Josh Parnham, says:
> After taking a screenshot with the system keyboard shortcuts (⌘⇧3 and ⌘⇧4), a window will pop up allowing you to quickly share, edit or delete that screenshot without needing to hunt around your desktop for it first.
I was sold immediately. I went to the Mac App Store, ready to plop down $5 for the “Delete Screenshot” feature alone. Low and behold, the app is free. On his website, Josh says:
>If you enjoy using it please feel free to buy me a coffee! ☕️❤️
I’ve already sent him the $5 AUD.
So this basically brings the new screenshot feature of iOS to macOS? That’s a great idea. Say goodbye to the fiver in my wallet.
And a fiver from me. Josh will be buzzing if he drinks all these coffees.
Monosnap is the spiritual successor to the original Skitch. Check it out.
I use the system shortcuts. I’ve set screenshots to go in a Screenshots folder, not the Desktop. And I have the same folder on both my iMac and MacBook, and they sync immediately with Resilio Sync. No need for apps to manage them.
