Capture, record and mark up your screen. Privately.

Mark up and annotate with clean, simple tools.
macOS 14 Sonoma or later · Apple silicon · No account, no analytics, no network connections
Full Screen, Region and Window. Multiple Areas, combined into one image. Scrolling and Panorama, stitched into one long image. Webcam Photo, and timed captures for menus and tooltips. Works across multiple displays.
H.264 MP4 of a screen, region or window, with a webcam overlay, microphone, pause and resume, and click animations. Interval Recording makes time-lapses, and the Step Recorder turns your clicks into a numbered step-by-step guide.
Trim recordings, convert them to GIF, combine clips, and turn images into a video or GIF.
Every annotation lives on its own layer and stays editable. Add Border & Margin, Replace Color, or pick any on-screen color with the eyedropper.
Solid Redact bars, Blur and Pixelate, plus Smart Redact, which finds emails, phone numbers and faces and covers them for you.
Extract text from any image and lift a subject out of a photo. Both use Apple’s on-device Vision framework, so your images never leave your Mac.
Save as a .pixelnoted file to keep every layer and annotation, then reopen it later and keep editing.
Board is a clipboard history beside Capture and the editor. Your screenshots land there automatically; full clipboard history is opt-in. Clips are sorted into Images, Text, Files, Links, Colors and Email Addresses, and you can search, tag, pin and preview them. Double-click any clip to copy it back. Export or wipe your history at any time. Board is built to skip copies from password managers.
No account. No analytics. No telemetry. Pixel.Noted makes no network connections at all, and it’s fully sandboxed.
macOS 14 Sonoma or later, on an Apple silicon Mac.
Yes, entirely. It makes no network connections at all, and there’s no account and no telemetry.
Board is Pixel.Noted's clipboard history. It keeps your screenshots, and — if you turn it on — everything you copy in any app, sorted into Images, Text, Files, Links, Colors, and Email Addresses. Search it, tag and pin clips, and copy any of them back with a double-click.
It’s built not to. Full clipboard history is off until you turn it on, and Board is built to skip copies from password managers. You can delete any clip or wipe your whole history at any time.
Yes. Everything is processed on your Mac. Text extraction and subject lifting use Apple’s on-device Vision framework, and the app makes no network connections.
PNG, JPEG, WebP, HEIF, TIFF, BMP, and PDF. You can also copy the result straight to the clipboard.
.pixelnoted file?It's Pixel.Noted's native format. Unlike a flat PNG, it preserves the image plus every layer and annotation so you can reopen and keep editing later. Double-click one in Finder to open it.
Choose a recording scope, then enable the webcam and microphone from the floating recording HUD (pick your devices in Settings → Devices). The result is a single H.264 MP4.
Use Redact, Blur or Pixelate on the area, or Smart Redact to find and cover emails, phone numbers and faces automatically.
Yes. The Step Recorder turns your clicks into a numbered step-by-step guide.
Yes, you set your own. No global shortcuts are set by default; record them in Settings ▸ Keyboard Shortcuts.
Select the Crop tool. By default you drag the edges of the crop frame independently (or a corner to move two sides). You can switch to "draw a region" mode in Settings → Editor → Crop. Press Return to apply.
Yes — use Scrolling capture, which stitches the scrolled frames into a single tall image.
Undo is ⌘Z and Redo is ⌘⇧Z. Edit history steps through in both directions; if something looks wrong, Redo restores your most recent change.
