Screenshot Bro Help

Welcome to Screenshot Bro

Beautiful App Store and Google Play screenshots, made on Mac and iPad.

Screenshot Bro turns raw device screenshots into polished, store-ready marketing images. Drop in a screenshot, pick a device frame, add a headline, and export at exactly the resolution the App Store and Google Play expect.

Three things to know first

• Projects hold one screenshot set per app — usually one project per app, or one per major release.
• Rows inside a project group screenshots by device type (iPhone, iPad, Android phone, etc.). Each device size gets its own row because the App Store requires different resolutions.
• Templates are the columns inside a row — the individual screenshots you'll submit. Most apps need 3–10 templates per row.

A typical workflow

1. Create a new project from a template, or start blank.
2. Drop your raw device screenshots onto templates or rows — Screenshot Bro fills them in order and detects the device category and frame where possible.
3. Pick a device frame, add a headline, choose a background, and arrange shapes.
4. Add the languages you support — translate text once and let the layout follow.
5. Export. You'll get a folder organized by language and device, ready to upload — or upload straight to App Store Connect or Google Play from inside the app.

New here? How to use Screenshot Bro walks that workflow step by step, with a screenshot of the app at each stage. This page is the reference behind it.

Projects

One project per app — or per major release.

A project is a self-contained collection of rows, templates, shapes, languages, and image resources. Projects are stored on disk under your user Application Support folder and can be optionally synced via iCloud Drive.

Creating a project

• File ▸ New Project… (⌘N) opens the New Project window.
• Choose Blank to set up rows and screenshot sizes manually, or From Template to start with a pre-designed layout.
• In Blank mode, pick the device categories you want — each one becomes a row with the right default screenshot size for the App Store / Play Store.

Switching between projects

• Use the project picker in the toolbar to jump between projects.
• Pinned and recent projects appear at the top. Right-click a project to pin it.
• Project order can be set to By creation date or Alphabetically in Settings ▸ General.

Renaming, duplicating, deleting

• Right-click a project in the picker for rename, duplicate, and delete actions.
• Deleted projects are kept as tombstones for 30 days so iCloud sync can resolve conflicts cleanly. After 30 days the tombstone (and all images) are purged.

Where projects live on Mac

• ~/Library/Application Support/screenshot/projects.json — index of all projects.
• ~/Library/Application Support/screenshot/projects/<uuid>/project.json — project data. See the Project File Schema for the full format.
• ~/Library/Application Support/screenshot/projects/<uuid>/resources/ — imported images, screenshots, and SVGs.

Rows

One row per device type.

Rows are horizontal groups of screenshots inside a project. Each row has its own screenshot size (in pixels), device category, and a row-level background. The App Store requires separate uploads per device size — that's why rows exist.

Adding rows

• Click Add Row at the bottom of the canvas, or use the inspector when no row is selected.
• Choose a device category: iPhone, iPad Pro 11", iPad Pro 13", MacBook, Android Phone, Abstract Pixel 9, Android Tablet, or Invisible (an abstract layout with no visible frame).
• Each category sets the row's default screenshot pixel size to a value the relevant store accepts.

Row inspector

• Select a row (click empty canvas space inside it) to reveal row-level controls in the inspector.
• Row label — names the folder this row exports into.
• Screenshot size presets — quickly switch between supported store resolutions.
• Background editor — color, gradient, or image. See the Backgrounds section.
• Spanning background — when on, the background spans the entire row width across all templates. When off, every template paints the same background independently.
• Visibility — hide a whole shape type (all text, all devices, all SVGs…) in this row. Hidden types are left out of the export too, not just the editor. Borders draws the divider lines between templates and is editor-only.

Edit and preview

• The pencil / eye switch in the row header flips the row between editing and preview.
• Preview hides every handle, guide, and divider, so you see the row exactly as it will export — without going through the export flow.

The row menu

• Add Screenshot and Add Element — add a template column or a shape without leaving the header.
• Duplicate Row, Add New Row Above / Below, Move Row Up / Down.
• Export Row — Screenshots, Continuous, or Showcase, for this row alone.
• Devices — show or hide all frames, Center All of them, Change All To another model in one step, or Reset All Images to clear their screenshots.

Reordering and deleting

• Drag a row's header to reorder. Use ⌘D to duplicate a selected row.
• Delete rows from the row header or row menu. Settings ▸ General has a confirmation toggle.

Templates

The individual screenshots inside a row.

Each column inside a row is a template. A template is one final exported image — its dimensions match the row's screenshot size. The App Store accepts up to 10 templates per row; Google Play up to 8.

Adding templates

• Click Add Template (the + button at the right end of the row).
• New templates inherit the row's background and dimensions.
• Drag templates left/right to reorder. Reordering also reorders the exported file numbering.

Per-template controls

• The Template Control Bar below each template lets you override the row background just for that template.
• Drop a screenshot directly onto a template to attach it as the device screenshot.
• The ⋯ menu offers per-template actions: Quick Look, Save as PNG…, move left / right, Add Screenshot Before / After, duplicate, and delete.

How shapes relate to templates

• Shapes (text, images, devices, etc.) live on the row canvas — the unified area behind all templates in a row. A shape can be positioned to land entirely inside one template, or to span across templates.
• On export, each template is clipped to its own bounds, so a shape that spans templates will appear on each of them at the right horizontal offset.
• This is what makes layouts like a single headline that flows across two screenshots possible.

Shapes & Text

Build the layout with rectangles, circles, stars, text, images, devices, and SVGs.

Adding shapes

• Use the Shapes dropdown in the inspector to add a Rectangle, Circle, or Star.
• Buttons next to it add Text, Image, Device, or SVG elements.
• New shapes are placed at the center of the active template and immediately selected.

Text

• Double-click a text shape to edit inline. Press Esc or click outside to commit.
• The properties bar shows font, weight, size, color, horizontal and vertical alignment, line height, and letter spacing.
• Rich text: while editing, select part of the text and use the format bar for bold, italic, underline, strikethrough, a different size, or a different color — per run, inside one shape. Clear formatting returns the selection to the shape's base style.
• Text background turns a headline into a badge: pick Solid, Pill, Outline, or Highlight, then tune color, padding, corner radius, opacity, and an outline.
• Copy Text Style / Paste Text Style (right-click) carry a text shape's whole look onto another one.
• Text auto-grows vertically by default. Drag a side handle to fix the width and let it wrap.
• Custom fonts: choose Pick custom font from the text font picker to import .otf / .ttf files.

Image

• Click the image well in the properties bar to pick a file, or drag and drop directly onto the shape.
• Fill modes: Fill (crop to fit), Fit (letterbox), Stretch (distort), Tile (repeat). Tile mode unlocks spacing, offset, and scale controls.
• Remove Background (right-click) cuts the subject out of the image, entirely on your Mac — nothing is uploaded anywhere.
• Restore Original Aspect Ratio (right-click) undoes stretching by fitting the height to the current width.

Device

• Device shapes render the screenshot inside a real device frame. Pick a category and model in the properties bar.
• Drop a screenshot onto the device to attach it. The image is automatically clipped to the screen area.
• Each model has color variants and (where applicable) a landscape variant.
• Match Size to Other Devices (right-click) resizes every other device in the row to match this one.
• Invisible category shows the screenshot with no bezel — useful for clipped or abstract designs.

SVG

• Click SVG to import a vector file, pick one of the bundled presets, or paste raw markup via the SVG paste dialog.
• SVGs render with a configurable color override and scale crisply at any export resolution.
• During resize, rendering is debounced for performance — release the mouse to see the final crisp output.

Common properties

• Color, opacity, rotation (in degrees, editable as text), border radius, outline (color + width), and Clip to Frame (clips anything that overflows the template).
• Drop shadow — enable it in the properties bar and pick Soft, Medium, or Strong, or set color, radius, offset, and opacity by hand. It works on a multi-shape selection too.
• Lock (⌘L) freezes a shape: clicks and drags pass straight through it. A locked shape's only right-click item is Unlock.
• Z-order: ⌘⇧] brings forward, ⌘⇧[ sends back.

Devices & Frames

Real device frames with accurate screen insets.

Device frames wrap your screenshot in an authentic device bezel. Screenshot Bro ships pixel-accurate frames for iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, and Android-style layouts.

Categories

• iPhone — iPhone 17, iPhone Air, iPhone 17 Pro, iPhone 17 Pro Max with the latest color variants, plus 3D iPhone options.
• iPad Pro 11" and iPad Pro 13" — current generation with portrait and landscape.
• Mac — MacBook Air 13", MacBook Pro 14", MacBook Pro 16", and iMac 24".
• Watch — Apple Watch Ultra 3 with a full set of band variants.
• Android Phone, Abstract Pixel 9, and Android Tablet — abstract frames that flex to match the aspect ratio of any dropped screenshot.
• Invisible — no visible bezel, just the screenshot. Useful for clipped layouts or abstract designs.

Picking a model and color

• With a device shape selected, click the device thumbnail in the properties bar to open the picker.
• Models are grouped by category. Each shows available colors as small swatches.
• Switching color preserves the screenshot and any rotation.

Landscape mode

• Concrete frames with portrait and landscape variants switch to the matching orientation when Screenshot Bro can infer it from a dropped screenshot.
• Use the orientation control for supported frames, or the rotation control to rotate the entire shape including frame and screen content.

3D device models (Beta)

• Models marked (3D) — iPhone 17 and iPhone 17 Pro Max — are rendered from real geometry rather than a flat bezel image.
• Their Appearance popover in the properties bar adds Pitch and Yaw rotation, a Matte or Glossy finish, and Ambient / Key / Rim lighting.
• Reset all returns rotation, material, and lighting to their defaults.

Image-based vs programmatic frames

• Most modern devices use image-based frames — high-res PNG bezels with precise screen insets defined per model.
• Some abstract categories use programmatic frames rendered as SwiftUI shapes. They scale flawlessly to any resolution.
• Both render identically in the editor preview and in the exported PNG.

Backgrounds

Color, gradient, or image — at row or template level.

Three styles

• Color — a solid fill picked from the inline color picker.
• Gradient — Linear, Radial, or Angular. Edit color stops, angle, and (for Radial / Angular) the center point.
• Image — bring in any PNG / JPEG / SVG. Pick a fill mode and tweak opacity.

Gradients

• Linear: choose the direction via the angle wheel. Add as many stops as you want.
• Radial: a circular gradient with an editable center point and an end radius derived from the canvas size.
• Angular: a sweep gradient rotating around the center.
• Gradient presets: pick from the gallery of 16 presets to apply tested stop combinations.

Image fill modes

• Fill — scales to cover; crops anything that doesn't fit.
• Fit — scales so the whole image is visible; leaves transparent letterbox bars.
• Stretch — fills exactly, distorting aspect if needed.
• Tile — repeats the image with adjustable spacing, offset, and scale per axis.

Row vs template backgrounds

• By default a row's background applies to every template in the row.
• Spanning background (row toggle): when on, gradients and images render once across the entire row, so a single horizon or gradient flows across all templates.
• Override per template: from the template control bar, set a unique background that replaces the row's default just for that template.

Editing on the Canvas

Drag, resize, rotate, snap.

Selection

• Click a shape to select it. Shift-click to add to or remove from the selection.
• ⌘A selects every shape in the active row.
• Esc deselects shapes; press again to deselect the row.
• Click empty canvas inside a row to select the row itself and reveal row-level inspector controls.

Move, resize, rotate

• Drag the shape body to move. Drag a corner or edge handle to resize.
• Drag the rotation handle (above the shape) to rotate freely. Type a degree value into the rotation field for exact control.
• Hold ⇧ while resizing to lock aspect ratio.
• Hold ⌥ while dragging to duplicate the shape as you move.

Snapping & alignment guides

• Shapes snap to other shapes' edges and centers, and to template boundaries, within a 4px threshold.
• Blue alignment guides appear while dragging to show which edges are aligned.

Align, distribute, match

• Right-click a multi-shape selection ▸ Align Selected for left / center / right, top / middle / bottom, plus Distribute Horizontally and Distribute Vertically.
• Match to This copies the shape you right-clicked — its Position, its Size, or both — onto the rest of the selection.
• Duplicate ▸ To All Screenshots copies a shape into the other templates in the row at the same relative spot — the quickest way to repeat a logo or a footer.

Nudge

• Arrow keys nudge the selection by 1px.
• ⇧ + Arrow nudges by 10px.

Pan & zoom

• Scroll vertically to navigate rows. Hold the middle mouse button and drag to pan.
• ⌘+ / ⌘− zoom in/out, ⌘0 resets to the default zoom, F focuses on the current selection. Trackpad pinch and ⌘ + Scroll also zoom.
• The toolbar zoom control ranges from 25% to 300% in 25% steps, with Fit and Actual Size actions in its popover.

Languages & Translations

Translate text once, lay it out once, ship every language.

Languages let you generate localized screenshot sets without duplicating your project. Each language shares the same shape set and can keep its own text, text styling, image assignments, and layout adjustments where a translation needs more space.

Adding languages

• Open the Language menu in the toolbar, or use Language ▸ Manage Languages… in the menu bar.
• Pick from the 81 built-in language presets, or define a custom code.
• The first language you add is the base language — the one whose text is the source of truth.

Switching the active language

• ⌘] / ⌘[ cycle forward / backward through languages.
• ⌘⌥0 jumps back to the base language.
• When editing a non-base language, a banner appears at the top of the canvas reminding you which language you're in.

How translations work

• In a non-base language, edits are saved as per-language overrides — they don't change the base language.
• Text content and styling, image replacements, and position/size adjustments can all differ by language. Shared properties such as colors and device choices are edited in the base language.
• If a language has no override for a shape, it falls back to the base language's content.

Translation helpers

• Auto-Translate Missing Text — fills in text shapes that don't yet have an override for the current language.
• Re-Translate All Text… — replaces every existing override with a fresh translation. Use after editing the base language's text.
• Translate Selected to All Languages — appears in the language bar when editing the base language with text shapes selected. Translates the selection into every other language at once.
• Revert to Base Language… — drops all overrides for the current language, falling back to base text everywhere.
• Edit Translation Table… — a side-by-side editor showing every text shape with its base content and per-language overrides.
• Reuse Translation (right-click a text shape) links it to another string, so both share one base text and one set of translations. A headline repeated across templates is then translated once.

Exporting with languages

• On export, Screenshot Bro creates one folder per language, then sub-folders per row. The structure matches what App Store Connect's localized screenshot uploads expect.

Importing

Drop screenshots, images, fonts, and SVGs.

Screenshots

• Drag and drop a PNG / JPEG onto a template to attach it as a device screenshot. A device shape is auto-created if needed.
• Batch import: drop multiple screenshots onto a row. Screenshot Bro fills existing device shapes in template order, then appends templates as needed.
• Recognized screenshot dimensions are used to pick an appropriate device category or frame when possible.

Background images

• Drop directly into the background image well in the inspector, or pick via the file dialog.
• Both raster and SVG images are supported as backgrounds.

SVG paste

• Use the SVG button in the shape toolbar to open the paste dialog.
• Paste SVG markup directly. Width and height are auto-detected; you can override them.
• SVGs are sanitized — script and event handlers are stripped before rendering.

Custom fonts

• Open a text shape's font picker and choose Pick custom font to import .otf / .ttf files or a folder of font variants.
• Imported fonts are bundled with the project so they survive iCloud sync and project transfer.

Exporting

Produce store-ready PNGs and JPEGs.

Quick export

• Click Export in the toolbar, or press ⌘E, to render the current project to the remembered export folder. If no folder is set, Screenshot Bro asks you to choose one.
• Use the export menu for Export All Screenshots to Folder…, row exports, per-language exports, and direct upload to App Store Connect or Google Play.
• File names are zero-padded (01_…, 02_…) so they sort correctly when uploaded.

Three ways to render a row

• Screenshots — one image per template. This is what the stores want.
• Continuous — the whole row as one wide image, templates side by side.
• Showcase — a marketing composition of the row on a styled background. See Showcase Export.

What actually gets exported

• Only what you see. Shape types switched off in the inspector's Visibility section are left out of the exported image too.
• Template borders, alignment guides, and selection handles are editor-only and never exported.

Format and naming

• Settings ▸ Export ▸ Format: PNG or JPEG. PNG is recommended for marketing screenshots.
• Custom filename suffix: add a suffix to every exported screenshot filename.
• Exports use the row's exact pixel dimensions so App Store and Google Play sizes stay correct.

Folder structure

• With one language and one row: a flat folder of templates.
• With multiple languages: a top-level folder per language.
• With multiple rows: a sub-folder per row label (e.g. iPhone 6.9", iPad 13").

Export folder memory

• Set Settings ▸ Export ▸ Export folder to make ⌘E export directly without prompting.
• Toggle Reveal in Finder after export in Settings to auto-reveal the result.

Preview vs export

• The pencil / eye switch in a row header shows the row with all editing chrome gone — the fastest sanity check.
• Use the Quick Look button in the template control bar to preview fully rendered screenshots without going through the export flow.

Showcase Export

Turn a row of screenshots into one marketing image.

A showcase arranges a row's screenshots side by side on a styled background and renders them as a single image — for a product page, a launch post, a README, or an ad. It doesn't replace store screenshots; it's the picture you post *about* them.

Opening it

• Export menu ▸ Export Rows ▸ Showcase for the whole project, or a row menu ▸ Export Row ▸ Showcase for one row.
• The sheet previews the result live as you change settings.

Shape and size

• Aspect ratio presets: Social (1.91:1), Square, Portrait (4:5), Story (9:16), YouTube (16:9), and Pinterest (2:3).
• Output size: Original, X-Large (4000 px), Large (2400 px), Medium (1600 px), or Small (1200 px) on the longest edge.
• Spacing, Padding, and Corner radius are percentages of the canvas, so a layout keeps its proportions at every output size.

Background

• The same editor as a row background: color, gradient, or image, with every fill mode. See Backgrounds.

App Store Connect

Upload screenshots straight from Screenshot Bro.

Connect your App Store Connect API key once and Screenshot Bro can upload exported screenshots to a specific app version without leaving the app.

Set up an API key

• Go to App Store Connect ▸ Users and Access ▸ Integrations ▸ App Store Connect API.
• Create a key with permission to edit app metadata — Account Holder, Admin, or App Manager roles are typical. Download the .p8 private key file (you can only download it once).
• Note the Issuer ID and Key ID.
• In Screenshot Bro: Settings ▸ App Store Connect, paste the Issuer ID and Key ID, import the .p8 file, then run Test Connection. The key is stored in your Mac's Keychain.

Uploading screenshots

• Click Upload to App Store Connect… in the export menu. Screenshot Bro renders the selected screenshots directly from the project.
• Pick the app and a version, then choose which rows go to which display type and language.
• Review Changes lists, per language and display type, exactly what will be added, what will be replaced, and what stays untouched. Nothing is sent to Apple until you confirm there.
• A row can opt out entirely via its Exclude when uploading to App Store Connect toggle.

Editing store metadata

• The same wizard edits the version's text, language by language, with a live character counter against Apple's limits.
• App Info (shared across versions): App Name, Subtitle, Privacy Policy URL.
• This Version: What's New, Promotional Text, Description, Keywords, Support URL, and the Copyright line.
• Copy to all locales fills every other language's *What's New* from the one you just wrote — useful before you translate it properly.

Demo mode

• Settings ▸ App Store Connect ▸ Demo mode walks the whole flow against sample data — no API key needed, and nothing is ever sent to Apple.

Google Play

Upload store listing screenshots to Google Play.

Connect a Google Play service account once and Screenshot Bro can upload exported screenshots to your app's store listing without leaving the app.

Set up a service account

• In the Google Cloud console, create a service account and enable the Google Play Android Developer API.
• Create a JSON key for that service account and download it — this is the file Screenshot Bro imports.
• In the Play Console ▸ Users and permissions, invite the service account's email and grant it access to edit your app's store listing.
• In Screenshot Bro: Settings ▸ Google Play, click Import .json File…, then run Test Connection. The key is stored in your Mac's Keychain.

Uploading

• Choose Upload to Google Play… from the export menu. Screenshot Bro renders the selected screenshots directly from the project.
• Enter your app's package name (for example com.example.myapp), then review which screenshots go to which language before confirming.
• The upload is staged as a Play edit and committed when you confirm. Google Play accepts at most 8 screenshots per type.

Demo mode

• Settings ▸ Google Play ▸ Demo mode runs a simulated upload — no service account required and nothing is ever sent to Google Play.
• Use it to walk through the whole upload flow before you have credentials set up.

iCloud Sync

Edit on one Mac, continue on another.

iCloud sync keeps your project library in iCloud Drive (iCloud.xyz.tleskiv.screenshot). Changes made on one Mac propagate to others signed into the same iCloud account.

Enabling

• Settings ▸ General ▸ iCloud Sync — toggle on.
• First-time enable migrates your local project library into iCloud. A progress indicator shows the migration.
• Disabling does not delete your iCloud data — your projects remain in the iCloud container until you delete them manually.

How conflicts are resolved

• Each project is merged using a last-writer-wins strategy at the field level. The most recently edited shape, row, or background wins.
• Deletions are tracked as tombstones for 30 days, so a delete on Mac A correctly propagates to Mac B even if the device is offline at the moment of deletion.
• File coordination prevents corruption from concurrent reads/writes.

Knowing what's syncing

• The Projects screen shows sync progress while iCloud is uploading or downloading.

Automation & MCP

Let an AI assistant build screenshots for you.

Screenshot Bro can host a local MCP server — a small server running only on your Mac that AI assistants and MCP clients (such as Claude Code, Claude Desktop, or Cursor) connect to. Once connected, the assistant can create and edit projects, arrange shapes, translate text, and export screenshots on your behalf, driving the app while you watch.

Turning it on

• Settings ▸ Automation ▸ Enable MCP server. It's off by default.
• The server runs on 127.0.0.1 (loopback only) — it is not reachable from other computers or the internet.
• Once enabled it stays on and starts automatically the next time you launch. The app has to be running for a client to connect.

Connecting an assistant

• The easiest way: click Copy Agent Prompt and paste it into your AI assistant. It contains everything the assistant needs to add the server itself, then reconnect.
• Prefer to configure by hand? Use Copy Configuration (JSON) for a standard mcpServers entry, or copy the Server URL and Access Token individually and add them in your client.

What the assistant can do

• Create projects (including from bundled templates), rename, delete, and switch between them.
• Add, edit, move, and remove rows, template columns, and shapes.
• Import screenshots into device frames, add and translate languages, and set per-language text.
• Render a preview so it can actually see the current canvas, and export the finished screenshots.
• Read and rewrite your App Store Connect descriptions, and preview then apply a screenshot sync to a version.
• Everything goes through the same actions you use by hand — so the assistant's changes are undoable with ⌘Z and autosaved like any other edit.

Security & the access token

• The server requires an access token: every request must present it, so another app on your Mac can't quietly drive Screenshot Bro.
• Keep the token private — anyone who has it can control the app while the server is running.
• Regenerate Access Token issues a fresh token and restarts the server; any client using the old token must be updated.

For a full walkthrough — connecting Claude Code, Claude Desktop or Cursor, what each of the 26 tools does, the prompts that work, and how to feed it your own screenshots — see the Screenshot Bro MCP guide.

Tips & Tricks

Small things that save time.

• Drop groups of screenshots together. Select several image files and drop them onto a row — Screenshot Bro fills templates in order and detects device category/frame where possible.
• Span backgrounds for storytelling. Turn on row spanning and use a wide gradient or panoramic image to make a 3-template carousel feel like one continuous scene.
• Lock aspect when resizing icons by holding ⇧ while dragging a corner handle.
• Duplicate while dragging with ⌥. Combined with snap, this is the fastest way to lay out a row of equal-sized cards.
• Type rotation degrees directly. The rotation field accepts text input — type 45 for an exact 45° rotation instead of dragging.
• Use the SVG button for icons. SVG scales infinitely, so your hero icon stays crisp at export size.
• Re-translate after editing base text. If you change the base headline, run Language ▸ Re-Translate All Text… (or use Translate Selected to All Languages with the edited text selected) so every language picks up the new wording.
• Use Invisible category for clipped designs. When you want the screenshot to bleed off the canvas with no bezel, pick the Invisible device category.
• Pin frequently used projects. Right-click in the project picker to pin and keep them at the top.
• Repeat a shape across the row. Right-click ▸ Duplicate ▸ To All Screenshots drops a logo or footer onto every template at the same spot.
• Translate a repeated headline once. Right-click a text shape ▸ Reuse Translation links it to another string so they share one translation.
• Lock the background art. ⌘L on a full-bleed image stops you grabbing it every time you click near the canvas edge.
• Check your work in preview. The pencil/eye switch in a row header strips all editing chrome without exporting anything.
• Custom fonts persist. Imported fonts are bundled per project, so a project shared via iCloud or zip backup keeps its typography.

Support & Feedback

We read every message.

The fastest way to get help is the Screenshot Bro Discord — questions, bug reports, and feature requests all land in front of the maker there, and you can see what is shipping next. Prefer email? Write to [email protected].

Reporting a bug

• Include your macOS or iPadOS version and the app version (Apple menu ▸ About Screenshot Bro).
• Describe the steps that reproduce the problem.
• If the issue involves a specific project, attach a backup zip (Settings ▸ General ▸ Storage ▸ Create Backup…) — it makes fixes dramatically faster.

Privacy

• Your projects and screenshots stay on your Mac (and your iCloud, if you enable sync). See the privacy policy for details.
