CleanShot X alternatives? Anyone using MacShot.io

Anyone tried MacShot.io as a CleanShot X alternative. Considering cancelling my Setapp subscription and Cleanshot is one app I would need to buy or replace.

Any other good alternatives to test out?

If the goal is simply giving up Setapp… there’s a standalone purchase for CleanShot X. I use it and love it.

If you use CleanShot X for screenshots and not for videos, Shottr is a nice alternative:

($12 one-time payment; no subscription)

Almost every commit to their GitHub repo mentions Claude, so this is a vibe coded app?

Not interested…

+1 for Shottr. I moved away from CleanShotX (way too much stuff I didn’t need) and found Shottr to do a great job for me. Nice set of tools for marking up screenshots.

Have a look at ScreenFloat.
It is also available on Setapp and has a free trial.

macshot dev here - it is not vibecoded :slight_smile:

it’s just that in 2026 if you don’t use AI you’re behind, and there’s no reason for me to hide that.

I review and test all code manually

Another vote for Shottr. Does everything I need, and the dev seems like a good guy.

Many people here will disagree with me, but I think it’s sad if that’s true.

(thinking of all the other negative aspects of AI besides vibe coding)
