Shotbase

Shotbase is a modern screen capture workspace for macOS that lets users capture, edit, organize, and share screenshots and recordings from one fast, streamlined workflow. It uses private AI running on the Mac to help organize content, and it offers a trial period to try features before committing. The tool targets individuals and teams who regularly create visual content and need an integrated workflow that blends capture with post-processing and sharing.

Shotbase operates by providing a unified interface for capturing different content types, including screenshots, screen recordings, and web captures. It combines an editor, organization tools, and sharing options to keep workflows contained within a single app. The product emphasizes privacy and on-device processing, aiming to keep user data on the Mac.

Shotbase highlights core capabilities such as editing with backgrounds, frames, and annotations; organizing with a single library, smart naming, and automatic tags; and sharing via links or conversations. It also includes features like 3D transforms, walkthroughs from recordings, and AI-driven naming and summaries to help users manage and present captures.

Shotbase specifies platform and integration details such as macOS focus, on-device AI, and a free trial with paid upgrade paths. It communicates that local AI runs on the Mac and notes availability constraints like Apple silicon requirements for certain AI features, while offering different Pro plans and a path to purchase or trial.
