Kitsmith / Utilities / MenuShot - Menu Bar Screenshot
A $0.99 menu bar shortcut to Apple’s own Screenshot app — faster access, no extra editing features.
Our take
Exactly what it says: a menu bar icon that opens macOS’s built-in Screenshot app (or starts a screen recording) with a click or right-click, so you don’t have to remember the keyboard shortcut. It doesn’t add capture modes, editing, or annotation of its own — it’s a launcher for Apple’s native tool, not a replacement for a full screenshot editor. From STRICS IT GmbH (Austria), a small studio with a coherent portfolio of similar single-purpose utilities.
