I am looking for a simple screen capture tool for the current Mac OS.

Most apps on the App Store seem to include Video, which is over the top for me.

I would like something which includes:

  • Capture Window
  • Capture Menu
  • Shows Mouse
  • Does not capture window shadows

I have Voila at the moment, but I’m finding their support a bit random, and they’re replacing it with another product (Capto) which has more

  • The built-in tools do a very good job, and I didn’t realise until I did some more research how much they do. The only thing missing is the ability to capture the mouse and the menu title.

    When you are done researching about them, would you mind editing your question in light of this, or closing it if solved? Thanks!

Although you may resolve your question with the built in tools, I'm going to go ahead and recommend you try Captur

Captur is a simple Menu Bar interface for Mac OS X screen capture command.

Features:

  • Screenshot your screen in many ways such as full screen, window, widget, selection etc
  • Capture The Cursor (or not!)
  • Capture The Shadow (or not!)
  • Add Time and/or Date to the filename
  • Specify the format (png, jpg, etc)
  • Specify the folder where the screenshot is saved

And that's about it! Very simple.

I found this going through alternativeto.net but the developers website is on blogspot and I can't access that rn, so haven't been able to test. But here is the links:
