Four shortcuts, no searching
Full screen, area, window and scrolling capture on familiar keys. In area mode Space switches to window, Shift keeps a square and Esc cancels.
Kadr for macOS
Screenshots, the way they should be.
One shortcut gives you an area, a window, the whole screen or an entire scrolling page - straight to the clipboard and a folder. Add an arrow, a box and a number, and it's ready to send.

Features
Faster than the built-in tool. More precise than the rest.
Kadr only does screenshots, and it does them properly. Take them with one hand and paste them at the right size.
Pixel-perfect
A live magnifier and dimensions. The screen is frozen before you select, so you capture exactly what was there - menus and tooltips included.
Right at hand
The PNG goes to the clipboard and the folder at the same time. An optional preview keeps your last 5 captures: copy, edit, or drag out as a file.
- Windows without shadow
- Even when covered
- Native Retina scale
- Correct size when pasted
- PNG and TIFF on the clipboard
- Quiet flash

Details you feel from day one
A window capture is just the window, without the shadow, even when something sits on top of it. Retina images paste at the size you see on screen.
Scrolling capture
The whole chat. The whole article. One image.
Select an area, scroll down and click Done. Or switch on Auto and let Kadr scroll for you.
- Sticky headers and chat input boxes don't break the stitching.
- Too fast, or scrolled up? That frame is skipped and nothing breaks.
- Repeating content means a skipped frame, never a wrong stitch.
Annotation editor
Show what you mean in five seconds.
Arrow, rectangle, ellipse, line, text, numbered counter and highlighter. All vector, with ⌘Z undo.
- A .kadr project keeps the original untouched, so you can change annotations later.
- ⌘C copies the image with its annotations.
- Export to PNG next to the project without overwriting the original.
The real app
This is Kadr on a Mac.
The editor window with a screenshot open: tools at the top, colour in one click, copy and export on the right. Dark mode follows the system.
Privacy
Your screenshots never leave your Mac.
Kadr has no account, no cloud and no analytics. Captures are saved only where you tell it.
- macOS requires Screen Recording permission - without it no app can take a screenshot.
- Accessibility permission is needed only for Auto mode and Enter/Esc during a scrolling capture.
- The only network connection is a check for a new version.

Kadr and this page were made by Gmerek IT. Even the capture preview is 233 × 144 pt - the golden ratio. I design and build Mac and iPhone apps, websites and business tools with the same care.
