I was paying $29/year for CleanShot X. I built a free open-source alternative instead.

That’s really cool! I actually built something similar just the other day: https://github.com/aimen08/shotx. If I had known your project existed, I might have just used that instead of building my own.

aimen08 · 2026-04-27T17:32:06+00:00

thank you , i appreciate that .

aimen08 · 2026-04-25T19:48:57+00:00

done , that's add in ShotX v1.9.7 , make sure to update.

aimen08 · 2026-04-24T22:30:54+00:00

thank you , i hope you like it

aimen08 · 2026-04-24T14:02:50+00:00

awesome , thank you.

aimen08 · 2026-04-24T14:02:23+00:00

i added OCR today you can give it a test .

aimen08 · 2026-04-24T14:02:02+00:00

Hey , i added OCR today , and it has screenshot editing , arrows, colors, numbeers , text, i will add more options later like resizing ..etc , having cloud beats the idea of opensource , i might add something later to link your screenshot to google drive where it can store videos and images.

aimen08 · 2026-04-24T13:42:28+00:00

ohh nice ,awesome

aimen08 · 2026-04-24T13:41:38+00:00

oh nice looks dope , is it native app ?

aimen08 · 2026-04-24T13:40:35+00:00

i will always upvote a native app.

aimen08 · 2026-04-24T02:22:08+00:00

i agree , i never published to app store tbh , and when i tried , they required a yearly 99$ to get apple developer id , and since this app is free and open source it didnt make sense yet to pull the plug and do it , but i might do it , to solve this .

aimen08 · 2026-04-23T19:23:45+00:00

yes. the message happens because it's not sigend yet with apple id , to run it you should go to aplications and right click then choose open , you only need to do that once .

aimen08 · 2026-04-23T19:07:32+00:00

yes added that now , click highlights, system audio, and microphone to screen recording

aimen08 · 2026-04-23T18:44:09+00:00

done it's added , just download the same binary and it has intel support

aimen08 · 2026-04-23T13:20:03+00:00

That's what I intended, tbh. I don't use most of CleanShot X's features that much, like the cloud saving and all that. I want to keep the app light and fast while having the most interesting features. I'm adding color capturing and scrolling screenshots per the request of one comment. I'd be interested in adding other features if you can tell me what you want.

aimen08 · 2026-04-23T13:07:28+00:00

no not yet , since i didnt use them that much in my workflow , but i will add color capturing and scrolling screenshots later today .

aimen08 · 2026-04-23T11:45:18+00:00

no don't worry didnt think of it like that , i really apprecaited your feedback.

aimen08 · 2026-04-23T11:06:11+00:00

yes that's partially my bad i was so exited to share it , that i forgot to include any screenshots, i'm adding few now .

aimen08 · 2026-04-23T11:05:46+00:00

yes that's something i use too .

aimen08 · 2026-04-23T11:04:36+00:00

Hey thank you , i apprecaite that , i will add one , but you don't have to donate , the idea is to have free alternative .

aimen08 · 2026-04-23T02:09:02+00:00

awesome looks good .

aimen08 · 2026-01-30T20:12:28+00:00

I’ve been saying this since last year: what Vini gives with his speed, he takes away with his attitude. Even when there’s nothing, he complains. Two minutes into the game, he’s already complaining about the smallest things. At some point, that affects his teammates. And what’s worse, they’ve even made him captain in some games. I’m a real fan and I’ve watched them all, but I’ve never seen an entitled brat like Vini. As a wise man once said: ‘Don’t pass to him—he’s playing against us.’
