Shotbase

Shotbase is a screen capture workspace for macOS that handles everything from initial capture to final sharing. It's designed for designers, product managers, and content creators who need more than basic screenshot tools.

The app captures screenshots, screen recordings, and full web pages. Screen recordings get automatic zoom effects that follow the action, plus 3D transforms that add depth and movement. Web page capture works across different breakpoints and supports both light and dark modes. Scrolling screenshots capture entire pages beyond what's visible on screen.

Built-in editing works for both static and motion content. Add backgrounds, frames, shadows, annotations, arrows, and callouts. Turn recordings into guided walkthroughs with automatic zooms and text overlays. The 3D transforms can make flat recordings feel cinematic.

Local AI runs on Apple Silicon Macs to automatically organize captures. It generates meaningful filenames, adds relevant tags, and creates quick summaries without sending content to external servers. This makes finding specific captures fast through smart search that understands both names and visual content.

The sharing system creates clean links for any finished capture. Upload screenshots or recordings, get a browser-ready link, and share it anywhere. Recipients don't need Shotbase to view shared content.

Shotbase positions itself as an alternative to tools like CleanShot X and Screen Studio, combining their capture capabilities with AI-powered organization that keeps everything searchable and accessible in one workspace.
