A Snipaste alternative for designed, exportable screenshots.
Snipaste is brilliant for pinning a screenshot on top of your screen while you work. ShotsGlow is for the other half — designing that screenshot, redacting it, and exporting it at the exact size. They pair well; ShotsGlow is $9 once.
Pin it — or design and export it
Snipaste's pin-to-screen is genuinely useful and ShotsGlow doesn't try to copy it. What ShotsGlow adds is everything that happens after the capture: a designed backdrop, an on-device AI cutout, redaction that survives a crop, and 30 export sizes including App Store.

What is Snipaste best at?
Pinning a screenshot on top of your screen so you can reference it while you work. That's its signature, and ShotsGlow doesn't replace it.
Why add ShotsGlow?
For the part Snipaste doesn't do: turning the screenshot into a designed image with a backdrop, an on-device AI cutout, reliable redaction and an exact export size.
