## What it is
Snapzy is a free, open-source native macOS app for screenshots, screen recording, annotation, and OCR, built with SwiftUI, AppKit, and ScreenCaptureKit. It runs from the menu bar and serves as a CleanShot X alternative with local-first privacy and optional S3/R2 cloud uploads.

## Use cases
- take area screenshots on macOS
- record my screen with system audio and microphone
- capture a full scrolling webpage screenshot
- annotate screenshots with arrows and highlights
- extract text from a screenshot with OCR
- find a free CleanShot X alternative for Mac
- upload screenshots to my own S3 bucket and get shareable links

## When to choose
- you want a native, lightweight macOS capture tool with minimal CPU/RAM footprint
- you prefer local-first privacy with no telemetry and open-source code
- you need scrolling capture, annotation, recording, and OCR in one free app
- you want bring-your-own-storage cloud sharing via S3 or R2

## When to avoid
- you need a screenshot tool for Windows or Linux
- you require advanced team/cloud collaboration features out of the box
- you need macOS versions older than Ventura (13)
