Shotbase captures, edits, animates, organizes and shares everything on your Mac screen, with private on-device AI keeping the library tidy

Most capture tools stop at the moment of capture. Shotbase treats that as the start. Grab an area, a window, a scrolling page or a full screen recording, and it lands in one library next to everything else you have captured. From there one editor handles both stills and motion: backgrounds, frames, shadows, borders and watermarks for polish, then arrows, text, highlights and callouts to make the point.

Recordings get the cinematic treatment too. Shotbase follows the action with automatic zooms, can turn a flat recording into a 3D shot with depth and perspective, and lets you finish the scene with text and effects. Webpage capture is a quiet superpower for marketers: snap any page at mobile, tablet or desktop widths, in light or dark mode, top to bottom or just the viewport.

Where it shines

Anyone who produces visual content every day: product marketers making feature posts, designers documenting work, founders sending team updates and client walkthroughs. The organizing layer is what keeps it useful a month later. Each capture gets a sensible filename, automatic tags and a short summary, all generated on your Mac, so search finds things by what they show rather than by a timestamp. When it is ready, create a share link from inside the app and see reactions and feedback alongside the work.

The best way to start

Download the Mac app and use the 7-day free trial, which needs no card. Spend the week letting it replace your default screenshot shortcut, capture a competitor's landing page at three breakpoints, and turn one screen recording into a zoomed, 3D walkthrough for social. By the end of the trial your library will show you whether the local AI organizing earns its place in your workflow.

The capture app that cares about everything after you press the shortcut.
