Eyno Draw, a Screenshot App for Mac with Blur and Arrows

Eyno Draw's capture window over a fictitious Order #4821 confirmation email. One line is highlighted in yellow, a red arrow points to the payment date with a red label reading Payment accepted, and the email address, phone number and card number are blurred. — The capture window on a fictitious order email. Hide Private Info blurred the email address, phone number and card number in one click.

What Eyno Draw does

Draw adds its own shortcut, ⌘ Shift 2, which works even when the app is closed. The screen freezes, so an open menu stays put while you frame it. Drag an area, press Space to take the window under the pointer, which lights up with its name, or click once for the whole screen. The capture then opens in a window built for the next step.

Mark up

Arrow, box, ellipse, line, text, highlighter and numbered steps to walk someone through a screen. A stamp and a brush cover the rest.

Blur a screenshot

Blur an area, pixelate it or cover it with a dark block. Whatever you blurred stays blurred in the copied image, so the original details don't travel with it.

Hide Private Info

One button finds the email addresses, phone numbers and card numbers in the capture and hides them all at once.

Copy Text

Reads the text in the image. Handy when an error message is stuck in a dialog and you want to paste it into a search or a support ticket.

Pin

Keeps the screenshot above your other windows while you copy a reference number or a setting from it into another app.

Copy, save, keep drawing

Copy sends the image to the clipboard, Save… writes a file, On a Background sets it on a backdrop. Open in Eyno Draw takes it into the drawing side of the app.

Do you need a screenshot app for Mac at all?

Not always. ⌘ Shift 3, ⌘ Shift 4 and ⌘ Shift 5 capture the screen, an area or a window, and clicking the floating thumbnail opens the Mac's own markup tools, with shapes, text, a signature and cropping. For one arrow on an image, that's enough.

The built-in screenshot tool on Mac falls short when something has to disappear. It has no blur, nothing that finds an email address or a card number for you, no way to read the text in the image and no way to pin a capture above your windows. So you open the image in another app, save it, find it again and attach it. For a screenshot you send ten times a day to support or a coworker, those detours add up, and Draw removes them.

Annotate screenshots on Mac without switching apps

Everything happens in the window that opens after the capture. Number the steps of a how-to, circle the button that matters, hide a customer's phone number, then press Copy and paste into Mail, Slack or a ticket. That short loop is the whole point of a screenshot app for Mac, compared with saving a file and hunting for it in the Finder.

From the menu bar

The menu bar icon offers Capture in 3 Seconds and Capture in 5 Seconds, for menus and tooltips that only show while your hands are on the mouse. Capture Last Area Again repeats the same frame, and Recent Screenshots brings back what you took earlier. Draw doesn't take scrolling screenshots, and neither does the Mac.

From capture to message in three steps

Every Mac shortcut, where screenshots are saved and how to capture a full web page are covered in our guide on how to take a screenshot on a Mac. To turn a PNG screenshot into a JPG, Eyno Convert changes the format in one drag. When a still image isn't enough, Eyno Show records the screen as a polished demo video, and a capture you want to file with a report can go straight into a PDF with Eyno Paper, the PDF editor of the suite.
