Clarus is one app for taking the shot, marking it up, recording the screen and getting the text back out. All of it native, all of it on your machine.
Every way to take a shot, on a key you choose.
One key each. Area drags a precise region with a crosshair and a magnifier so you land on the pixel you meant.
A whole page - however long - stitched into one tall image. It scrolls, measures and joins for you.
Grab the colour of any pixel on screen and copy it as HEX, RGB or HSL.
Twelve actions, all rebindable. Clarus takes Win+Shift+S because that is the key people already reach for, and hands it back on request.
Opens the instant you capture. Every mark stays an object.
Rectangle, ellipse, line, arrow, curved arrow, pen, highlighter, text highlight, text, step numbers, pixelate, blur, spotlight, crop and select.
Move, restyle or delete any mark at any time. It is only flattened when you export.
Drag across words and the bar snaps to them, not to wherever your cursor stopped.
Pixelate or blur a region and it is gone from the exported file, not just hidden under a shape.
Drop the capture on a gradient, a wallpaper or a blurred copy of itself, with padding, corners and shadow.
Record the screen, then actually edit it.
With your microphone, the system audio, or both - and your webcam if you want it.
Trim, split, delete the middle, move clips. Video and audio are separate lanes.
Drag a box over the part that matters and the camera moves to it.
The same tools, each one gated to the moment it belongs to.
Keep a rolling buffer and save the last few minutes after something has already happened.
Show clicks and keystrokes on screen while you record.
The part nothing else does well.
Turn any capture back into real text - a screen share, a locked PDF, an error dialog - and paste it wherever you need it.
Every capture is indexed by the words in it, so you can find a screenshot by what it said.
Where captures go and how they leave.
Every capture lands as a card: copy, save, pin, annotate - or drag it straight into a chat, an email, a folder.
Float a screenshot above every window for reference while you work.
Search, sort and favourite everything you have ever taken.
Collect several into one folder card and paste them all at once.
Optional, and off unless you ask.
Send a capture up and get a short link, with an expiry or a password if you want one. Your uploads stay searchable by the text inside them.
Including right-to-left Arabic.
You are always on the newest build without being asked.
Capture, editing and OCR all run on your PC. Nothing leaves it unless you share it.
