Snapzy
Snapzy is a native macOS screen capture and recording app that helps you take screenshots, annotate images, record video, and manage recent captures.
What is Snapzy?
Snapzy is a native macOS screenshot and screen recording app for capturing, editing, and organizing visual content on your Mac. It is designed for people who need more control than the built-in macOS tools, including creators, developers, support teams, educators, and anyone who shares screenshots or recordings regularly. The app supports common capture workflows such as full-screen, selected area, window, scrolling, subject isolation, and OCR text extraction. It also includes built-in annotation and video editing tools, so you can mark up screenshots, trim recordings, and prepare shareable results without switching to another editor. Snapzy runs as a menu bar app and focuses on local-first workflows, with optional uploads to user-managed cloud storage. Snapzy is published by Trong Duong Duc and supports modern macOS systems.

Safety overview
Status: Mostly safe
Snapzy is a legitimate screen capture app, so requests for Screen Recording access are normal for its core purpose. It may also request Accessibility permission for global shortcuts, window capture, and scrolling capture, plus Microphone access if you want voice in recordings. Captures are designed to stay on your Mac unless you choose to upload them to your own cloud storage. Use the standard privacy precaution for any capture tool: review what is visible on screen before recording or taking screenshots, especially if sensitive information may be open.
Recommendation: Keep Snapzy if you use it for screenshots, annotation, or screen recording on your Mac. If you no longer use it, you can remove it like other third-party apps, but expect to lose its saved preferences, recent capture history, and local app data unless you back up anything important first.
