Xnip

Xnip is a screenshot utility for macOS that lets users capture screen regions, whole windows, and scrolling content. It provides a window‑capture mode that includes the native macOS shadow effect and supports multi‑window selection by holding Shift, enabling precise image of overlapping or adjacent windows.

The app includes annotation capabilities, allowing users to draw, add text, and resize the capture area while editing. These tools are intended for marking up screenshots of source code, articles, chat logs, or any other on‑screen material. An additional “pin images” feature lets annotated screenshots stay on screen as always‑on‑top floating windows for quick reference.

Xnip is distributed as a free‑tier, stable release through the Mac App Store, targeting users who need straightforward screen capture and lightweight editing without requiring separate image‑editing software.
