What it does

Better‑Shot lets you take macOS screenshots, screen recordings, and edit the clips—all from a native SwiftUI app with 75+ shortcuts and URL‑scheme automation.

When to use it

•You need a quick, privacy‑focused alternative to CleanShot X for product demos.
•You want to embed screenshot/recording actions into scripts or shortcuts (e.g., Zapier, Apple Shortcuts).
•Your team shares recordings on a self‑hosted cloud (e.g., Nextcloud) without third‑party SaaS.

Ready-to-paste prompt

open "better-shot://capture?type=recording&duration=30&output=~/Documents/Demos/feature.mov&share=true"

Heads up: Better‑Shot only runs on macOS 13+ with Xcode 15 (Swift 5.9); trying to run on older OS versions or without granting Screen Recording permission will cause the app to crash or silently fail.
