## Kitsmith's take

The floating-shot idea is genuinely distinct from the rest of this list — captures stay visible as picture-in-picture windows you can reference, drag, or tag instead of immediately filing to disk. From longtime indie developer Matthias Gansrigler-Hrad (Eternal Storms Software, also behind Yoink and Transloader), for a $17.99 one-time purchase with no functional difference between the Mac App Store, direct, and Setapp versions.

## Features

- **Floating shots:** Captures float above every window and space until closed — picture-in-picture for screenshots.
- **OCR, face, and barcode extraction:** Copy or redact recognized text, faces, and barcode contents directly from a capture.
- **Screen recording too:** Records a screen area or window with system and mic audio, cursor/click highlighting, and non-destructive trim.
