Just yesterday I had to cancel my SetApp subscription – can’t justify the cost for the one or two apps I mostly use – CleanShot X and Downie. So I went ahead and purchased the apps from the corresponding developer’s websites. As for Downie, it does what it does so well.

However, CleanShot X also continues to amaze! I started to use it way back in November of 2021 and they update the app quite regularly. I wasn’t expecting that, after purchasing it, the next day they would release some new features. Hello version 4.8! Just a solid screenshot program that is just so useful and worth every penny (there is a student/educator discount as well).

Capture your Mac’s screen like a pro.
