About Shotbolt

Shotbolt goes further than a screenshot app usually does. Edit Text changes or translates the words inside a screenshot. AI runs on the Mac itself: Automatic Redact covers personal data, Extract Table turns a table into rows and columns, and on a Mac with Apple Intelligence, Explain Error, Summarize and Alt Text read a capture without uploading it. AI-safe Copy puts a redacted screenshot on the clipboard for ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini, share links can live on your own storage, and step guides write themselves from your clicks.

These are Shotbolt Pro features, and Shotbolt Pro is one payment, not a subscription. Without it, Shotbolt is free forever, with no account. Every feature, Free and Pro marked: Features.

In short

  1. Free forever. Shotbolt Pro is one payment, $9.99 until December 31, 2026.

  2. macOS 26 or later, on Apple silicon or Intel.

  3. Made in the Netherlands.

What people wrote

“The coolest feature that sets it apart is its ability to OCR tables and convert them to TSV. That’s always been a sticking point for screen capture OCR apps for me.”

Brett Terpstra, Web Excursions,

Extract Table is part of Shotbolt Pro. Pro (Shotbolt Pro)

  • “I purchased Shotbolt at full price earlier this week and I’m blown away by the features and functionality […] I couldn’t be happier!”

    u/SlowTap, r/macapps,

  • “What I love most is how much thought has clearly gone into it. It feels like you’ve considered pretty much every situation where someone might need a screenshot and found a way to make it all work in one app without making things complicated. That’s actually pretty impressive.

    And on top of that, it feels incredibly native to macOS. Honestly, I could easily see this being an Apple app.”

    u/Agitated_Bar_712, r/macapps,

  • “I second Shotbolt. I’ve been on the hunt for something that doesn’t cost an arm and a leg and has the features I’m looking for. This one is it!”

    u/InspectHer_1, r/macapps,

  • “The level of detail that the developer has put into this app is very thorough. I highly recommend you all check it out. It is a really, really good app!!”

    u/Federal-Translator60, r/macapps,

  • “You might have done it, and actually produced a screenshot program I will use. Seriously, I sank so much money into the competition, never used one for longer.

    Got me on the onboarding, when Hyper was an actual option. Starts with small things like that, keeps going.”

    u/LardPopsicle, r/macapps,

  • “I’ve been using this for a little while now and it’s really quite good. It nails everything I need at a really nice price. Good job!”
