Unlike most screenshot tools that rely on cloud or heavy extensions, QuipShot is a fully native Windows app that keeps everything on your machine. It lets you capture regions, windows, scrolling pages or on‑screen text, annotate instantly, and drag the result straight into Slack, Figma or email. I built it to give developers and designers a fast, private workflow. Any thoughts on the experience?
