$80 software 50% off to take screenshots and that's a deal? Mac app economy is truly crazy.

Just mind blowing to me when we have FOSS software like ShareX which pretty much does the same and more https://getsharex.com/

If you think that’s wild, wait until you hear about Dropbox and rsync.

Honestly I understand Dropbox more than a $80 screenshot app

But it takes not just screenshots. But "beautiful screeshots"

Whatever that means

It means it doesn’t work when your screen looks like crap. ;)

I always thought that, with Dropbox, you weren't paying so much for the tech as for the storage space. I'm on a free Dropbox plan, which is presumably using essentially the same tech as a paid plan, just with less storage ….

TBF that is 3 licenses – for one license it is $35. Also quite a lot IMO: it's really just a screenshot cropping and editing tool, since macOS has a screenshot tool already.

Cmd-shift-5 brings up a cropping screenshot tool in MacOS. There is a button in the tool to capture to preview which has some editing tools.

I'm more of a Greenshot fan, it's small and gets out of the way. Unfortunately only available for Windows.

Greenshot is available on the mac app store now (for $2).
