Step-by-step installation via Terminal
Press ⌘ + Space to open Spotlight, type Terminal and press Enter.
Paste this command and press Enter. Homebrew will download and install the app; you may be prompted for your Mac password.
brew install --cask cleanshot
When the command finishes, open CleanShot X from Applications or Spotlight (⌘ + Space).
CleanShot X is the ultimate screen capture tool for Mac. Screenshots, scrolling capture, screen recording, annotation, OCR, and cloud upload.
CleanShot X replaces the built-in screenshot tool with something far more powerful — capture, record, annotate, and share from one place.
Fullscreen, area, window, scrolling capture, and timed screenshots.
Record screen as video or GIF with system audio and microphone support.
Captured screenshot floats on screen for quick annotation, copying, or dragging into other apps.
Arrows, text, blur, highlight, numbering, and more with a built-in editor.
