Screendrop

Screendrop is an open-source, native macOS menu-bar app for capturing screenshots and screen recordings, annotating them, and sharing them — built as a free, self-hostable alternative to Loom and similar paid tools. Screenshots capture at native display resolution, and screen recordings support display, window, or area sources with optional overlays like a mouse indicator or key-press captions. Every capture opens in a floating preview immediately, where it can be marked up with on-device OCR text extraction, non-destructive drawing annotations, cropping, smart redaction, background replacement, wallpaper packs, perspective effects, progressive blur, borders, and watermarks, then saved, copied, or uploaded from that same preview. Camera, microphone, and system audio record as separately editable sources during screen recordings. Cloud sharing doesn't require a paid backend: it runs on a small Cloudflare Worker setup that fits comfortably within Cloudflare's free tier, giving screenshots a clean shareable viewer and recordings a full Loom-style share page.
