Grabbit For Mac

Grabbit is a no-frills and easy-to-use OS X application which enables you to take screenshots of your whole screen, selected windows or certain areas on your screen. It provides a simple menu bar item, keyboard shortcut support and several handy features.

Capturing your screen using Grabbit is a walk in the park - just click on the menu bar icon or use custom keyboard shortcuts. Although this is possible using OS X’s default keyboard shortcuts, they can be inconvenient for some users who prefer using a system bar tool for this purpose.

As mentioned before, you can take snapshots of a selected area (using a crosshair), an active window or the entire screen. The output location can be selected from the preferences. You can also choose the image format (JPG, PNG and more) and choose the beginning of the files’ name.

Moreover, you can also make use of an option to copy the screenshot to the clipboard, which can come in handy when you want to paste the image into a document, for instance. Also, screenshots can include the cursor and shadows, too. An additional option is to allow camera sounds.

Another important feature is the ability to take periodically take screenshots of your screen. This is great when you want to track the progress of a project, drawing, etc. You are given the freedom to select the time between shots and when to stop.

In summary, the Grabbit app is a great alternative to OS X’s built-in snapshotting tool. It provides essential features, such as automatically capturing the screen, choosing the output location and file format, as well as file name, shadows and cursor, as well.
