A screenshot is worth a thousand characters. Stop wasting time typing out lengthy emails and chats. CloudApp’s Mac screenshot app functionality makes it easy to share ideas, report problems, and collaborate—all in the cloud.
- Last Updated: October 18, 2021
CloudApp’s Screenshot App is available for Mac, iOS and Chrome. Downloading is quick and easy. Access the app from GetCloudApp above, from the Apple Store for Mac and iOS, or from the Chrome Webstore to add the extension to Chrome.
Everything You Need in a Single Screenshot Tool for Mac
CloudApp puts the tools you need to communicate with your team into one easy-to-use screenshot tool. Instead of using the built in Mac screenshot functionality, saving an image to your desktop, and opening it in another app to annotate it, CloudApp’s mac screenshot tool puts all of these steps at your fingertips in just one simple Mac screenshot tool.
The Best Mac Snipping Tool for Teams
Capture, share, and annotate screenshots to collaborate with your team more effectively. Whether you are in marketing, sales, customer support, or a web developer or in design, don’t just explain a problem or report a bug—use CloudApp’s snipping tool equivalent in place of the Mac snipping tool shortcut to capture an image, and immediately annotate it with lines, shapes, arrows, blur, emoji, and more. Then use the drag and drop feature to share your new, annotated images via email, Google Docs, Microsoft Office, or your team’s other productivity tools.
Using CloudApp as Your Mac Screen Capture App
To get started using CloudApp’s Mac screen capture app, follow these simpel steps:
- Download CloudApp for Mac
- Use the keyboard shortcut ‘Cmd + Shift + A’ to create a screen capture and instantly open a screenshot annotation window.
- Hover over an image or screenshot in the CloudApp menu and select ‘Annotate’.
- That’s it! You can now take a screen capture with your Mac keyboard, but instead of just having an screen capture image saved on your desktop, CloudApp will open the image for annotation, and you can save it to the cloud.
Mac Screenshot App Shortcuts
It’s easy to customize CloudApp as your go-to screenshot app with keyboard shortcuts:
- In the preferences section of the CloudApp, set the keyboard shortcut for screenshots.
- Press the keyboard shortcut, e.g., ‘Cmd + Shift + 6’ to take a screenshot.
Sharing Your Annotated Screenshots

The link is then instantly uploaded to your Mac’s clipboard, so you can paste it into your browser, email client, or document or share it in Asana, Slack, Trello, Google Docs, or one of our many other productivity app integrations.

Other Screen Capture Tools Don’t Stand A Chance
As you learned above, the right screen recorder software can do so much more for you and your business than simply save a screenshot to your computer. That’s the way of the past, yet companies such as Techsmith, claiming to be top-of-class screen capture software, require downloading and installing 3 of their tools (Snagit, Jing, Screencast) to have all the features that CloudApp comes with in the all-in-one native app. Other tools including Vidyard or Wistia, simply miss out on valuable workflow collaboration tools, analytics to help you grow your business and customization capabilities. Others such as Loom, Soapbox or GoVideo, are limited to Chrome Extensions and serve no further business function or value beyond of a quick video or a screenshot.CloudApp also serves as more than just a DropBox type file storage center. It also won’t cost your five times the amount of money for half the features like a Vidyard or a Droplr that provides little to no creative functions. With CloudApp you can let your creativity flow with video annotation or dual screen and webcam recording.
Still Don’t Believe Us? See For Yourself
Don’t restrict your creativity or slow down your workflow even more with antiquated screen recording software. It’s time to step into the 21st century and catch up with this on-demand world. Sign up for a free CloudApp account and try it for yourself to see just how fruitful screen recording can be for your teams and your bottom line. CloudApp is the future of visual communication — an essential screen recording tool for every industry where speed and clarity are essential.
