Region capture
Select exactly the part of the screen you need without opening the MachKit window first.
Screenshot and annotation
Capture, annotate, and continue without leaving your current app.
MachKit provides a native Mac screenshot workflow for the moments when you need to explain what is on screen. Press the global shortcut, select a region in place, add the annotations you need, and finish directly to the clipboard or a PNG file.
Annotation in place
Add rectangles, ellipses, arrows, freehand marks, highlights, mosaic, and multiple text labels.
Local export
Press Return or confirm to copy the finished image, or save it as a PNG on your Mac.
What it covers
See the capability and the boundary together.
Start from anywhere with one shortcut
The default Command-Shift-A shortcut starts region capture over the app you are currently using. The desktop is captured once and stays visually stable while you select and annotate, so the MachKit main window does not interrupt the workflow.
- Global Command-Shift-A shortcut
- Region selection over the current app
- Escape to cancel without saving
Use the right mark for the explanation
Choose geometric shapes for structure, an arrow for direction, pen or highlight for emphasis, mosaic for sensitive areas, and text for context. Tool-specific size controls show the actual stroke or mosaic footprint before you draw.
- Rectangle, ellipse, arrow, pen, and highlight
- 6 px, 12 px, and 24 px drawing or mosaic sizes
- Multiple editable text labels without a background fill
Keep screen content on your Mac
Capture and annotation are performed locally. MachKit does not upload the screenshot, require an account, or send the selected content to a cloud editor.
- No cloud upload
- Copy directly to the clipboard
- Save a local PNG when needed
