Download Shotr for Mac, v1.3

Explore every pixel

Think of it as your digital magnifying glass. If you need to have a closer look at something, take a screenshot and zoom in.

Copy colors

The simplest way to grab that color: take a screenshot, zoom in, move your mouse over the pixel and press the TAB key.

Measure sizes and distances

Shotr doubles as a screen ruler. Use arrow keys to get distance between objects. Need more control and precision? Select an area and check selection size.

Save to the default folder

Unclutter the desktop. Have a place to store your archive of screenshots, so they don’t get in your way all the time.

Press cmd + 2 to quickly zoom on the selected region.

Measure distance between objects
