Sowiks

Sowiks is a Mac screenshot app for designers, marketers, developers, and support teams who share visuals for a living. Capture with your normal macOS shortcuts, annotate with 13 built-in tools (arrows, blur, text, shapes, spotlight), and turn the result into a link instead of a file attachment.

The problem: screenshots usually end up as file attachments that get buried, downscaled, or lose their context by the time someone opens them. Sowiks replaces the file with an instant, editable link — it can expire, be password-protected, and stays the same link even if you update what's behind it.

Beyond static screenshots, Sowiks does scrolling and full-screen capture, OCR text extraction, video and GIF recording with camera and mic overlay, screenshot collections (up to 10 shots behind one link), cloud sync across devices, and automatic compression.

Free tier: window capture and the full editor, forever. 7-day trial unlocks everything. Solo is a $19.99 one-time purchase for the rest — no subscription.
