Skitch - Snap, Draw, Share
There is no shortage of ways to dump your screen into a screen shot on a mac, from built in hot keys to native apps like the Grab.app found in the Applications > Utilities folder, to 3rd party apps like SnapZ ProX or SnapNDrag. But what all of these methods lack is a way annotating, marking up and sharing these screen shots. Never has it been so easy to snap draw and share screen shots and pictures before.
So lets put this app into working perspective which I will do from the perspective of a web designer, because… that’s what I know. I use this a lot to communicate with my customers and show them marked up designs, pointing area that I think need changing or explaining what I mean with certain terminology. It’s an indispensable tool for that purpose.
In the above example, I might snap a shot of the design I am working on, add some remarks and comments and then email it to my client, or perhaps post it on a server of my choice. You can even post it to your own mySkitch account if you don’t have any servers of your own. The brilliant part is Skitch will add the date and time to each image name so that you will never overwrite any image on upload and you will always know which image is the most current one. Then at the click of a button you can copy the URL or HTML code that Skitch generates to use in an email or website, etc…
I am serious when I say that it has never been easier to share desktop ideas.
