TrarrenShot
What TrarrenShot is
TrarrenShot is a macOS screenshot and screen-annotation app for visual workflows, including remote work. One Shot captures a region, window or fullscreen view for copying, saving, annotating or sharing. Its editor provides arrows, shapes, text, highlighting, pixelation, magnification and step annotations. Live Canvas draws over the live Mac desktop while clicks continue through to underlying apps. Scroll Capture joins manually scrolled frames into one long screenshot. Local OCR offers Auto and 11 selectable language modes, while QR detection displays values for copying or opens supported links. A color picker copies an sRGB HEX value with the C key. The Mac App Store app requires macOS 14 or later. Screenshots and annotations are processed locally unless explicitly shared or exported. Basic is free; Plus is listed at $7.99 per month, and Lifetime Plus at $7.99 once, with App Store regional pricing potentially varying.
