Capture, annotate, and keep screenshots in view

How it works

A screenshot is often just the first step in explaining a problem: you still need to point out what matters and cover private details. Tidest keeps capture and annotation together. Float the result when you need a reference beside your work, without switching back and forth.

1. Press Option + A, then drag to capture
2. Add an arrow and text; cover private details
3. Click Float to keep the screenshot in view

Details

Press Option + A to start. Drag to capture an area or click a window. Drag the selection edges to resize, or enter its width and height. Press Esc to cancel. Change the shortcut in Settings → Screenshot.

Add rectangles, ellipses, arrows, freehand drawings, or text. Use mosaic to cover private details. The toolbar also lets you undo, redo, and delete annotations.

Click Done in the toolbar to copy the screenshot, or Save to export a PNG. Screenshots require Screen Recording; check access in Settings → Screenshot.

Keep screenshots in floating windows

After annotating, click Float to show the screenshot in its own window alongside your work. Move the window or drag its edges to resize it while following a reference or instructions.

Use Copy or Save at the top to copy the image to the clipboard or save it as PNG. Close the window with the button at the top left when you are finished.

Good for

• Pointing out a problem to a teammate with arrows and text
• Covering email addresses, account details, or other private information before sharing
• Keeping a reference image, instructions, or notes visible while you work
