"Thanks man i am using it since 10 days. Didn't had any money to purchase cleanshot, this came very handy to me. I would definitely donate once i get a job."
"Nice app. Installed as main screenshooter for me and whole family."
"i don't know how to thank you, it's exactly as CleanshotX AND 100% FREE really thanks too much."
"I've been using this for a few days now and I absolutely love it! Thank you for making this. I can appreciate the time and effort you put into this and wanted to let you know I've been using it and it has improved my workflows when it comes to taking screenshots."
"I cannot thank you enough for this! While I use Cleanshot X on my work computer, I use Snapzy for my home PC, and I cannot recommend it enough to my family and colleagues who can't or don't want to pay for Cleanshot!"

"Really well done! Also love the icon! CleanShot is probably my most used and favorite app, well maybe only second to Raycast. It's wild how much Apple gives developers built-in to make very useful apps."
"What a good application, I have been testing it and it is quite complete, good job."
"excellent work, it's just beautiful. How did you made the UI of the app and your branding?"
"This is awesome! I was thinking of making a clone like this to add support for third party cloud uploads like to Imgur or anywhere like how ShareX does it. Will definitely be interested in contributing"

"This is fantastic!"
"Looks owsome"
"So far I'm liking it. I would live if my stroke width and font size for annotating would stay with whatever my last adjustment was."
"Macshot does not look remotely like this or CleanShotX. Power to OP!"
"I see you 😄 Snapzy is great too!"

Questions? We've got answers.
Everything you need to know about Snapzy.
SnapzyStep 1: Open the downloaded .dmg file and drag Snapzy into your Applications folder.
macOS Gatekeeper blocks apps downloaded outside the App Store from unidentified developers to protect your Mac. Since Snapzy is distributed independently (not through the Mac App Store), you need to manually allow it via Privacy & Security settings. This is a one-time step — Snapzy will open normally afterward.
Learn more on Apple SupportIf macOS still blocks Snapzy after the steps above, open Terminal and run this command to remove the quarantine flag:
$ sudo xattr -rd com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Snapzy.appThis removes the macOS quarantine attribute that flags downloaded apps. It's safe and only needs to be done once.
