As with most small but fantastic utilities a video explains its use better than just typed words. This new version now features “capture scrolling screen” which is a true bonus as a screen recording most times focuses on an area to be captured which makes scrolling impossible on most utilities. Finally CleanShot X solved this problem and created a great and easy working tool straight from its menu in your Mac’s top bar.
The menu-bar presents this Cleanshot X drop-down overview, where in Preferences any shortcut can be set for each action.
Version 3.7 allows screenshots and such to be uploaded to the Cleanshot Cloud which provides 1Gb free data space.
The uploaded images are stored in a lossless format which compromises images some what in order to better handling for internet and web. If you want to keep the original quality you need to subscribe to Cloud Pro which will cost you $8/m.
