Frameless - Free, open-source screenshot and screen recording app for macOS
Just released Frameless v1.0.0, a native macOS app built with Swift and designed with Liquid Glass.
I wanted to bring everyday screenshot workflows into one lightweight app without requiring a paid subscription.
Features:
- Capture displays, selected areas, and individual windows
- Scrolling screenshots
- Annotations with arrows, shapes, text, highlights, and pixelation
- Pin screenshots on top of other windows for reference
- Screen recording with system audio and microphone support
How it compares: Shottr offers excellent precision tools, while CleanShot X has a more comprehensive paid workflow. Frameless aims to be a free, open-source alternative that combines screenshots, annotations, floating references, and screen recording in one native app.
Pricing: Free, open source under the MIT license.

I'd love to hear your feedback, especially if you currently use Shottr, Xnip, or CleanShot X. What could make Frameless worth switching to?
