Better Shot is a free, open-source, local-first macOS screenshot tool offering capture, annotation, video recording, and effects with no subscription or cloud dependency.

Okay, I'm conflicted. I love CleanShot X. I think it's one of the greatest macOS apps of all time. You know that. I've been waiting for this. BUT I also have Screen Studio, which is pretty much exactly this, AND Screen Studio recently added caption generation, which works really well. So now CleanShot X is basically Screen Studio for me, except that one feature that really impressed me in the last few weeks.

On macOS I used the screenshot tool all the time to measure things. It was the one thing I missed in omasnap (great CleanShot X replacement by @tobi), so I made a PR that adds it.
