Lumshot

This desktop screenshot app is built for developers, designers, and teams that need to capture, explain, and share visual information quickly. It combines screenshot capture with annotation, OCR, screen recording, smart redaction, and AI-assisted workflows, helping users turn a screen grab into useful context without switching between multiple tools.

The app is designed for workflows such as bug reporting, design reviews, AI-assisted work, and customer support. You can capture a screen, mark up an issue, extract text, record a walkthrough, or turn the capture into a task while staying within the same workflow. It runs on Windows and macOS and supports local processing for capture, text reading, and redaction.

Key Features

Smart Annotation

Explain bugs, design decisions, and visual issues directly on screenshots with built-in annotation tools.

• Arrows
• Text
• Shapes
• Highlights
• Blur

Unlimited annotations make the tool practical for repeated review and communication workflows.

AI Chat Auto Paste

Send screenshots directly into supported AI chats without manually saving and uploading files.

Supported AI tools include:

• ChatGPT
• Claude
• Cursor

This makes it easier to move from a visual problem to an AI-assisted explanation or solution without interrupting the capture workflow.

Jira Integration

Turn annotated screenshots into Jira issues with fewer manual steps.

The integration can use AI to draft issue details from the captured context, helping teams move from identifying a bug to creating a structured task more quickly.

OCR Text Extraction

Extract text directly from screenshots so you can copy, edit, and search information that would otherwise remain locked inside an image.

This is useful for capturing text from applications, webpages, error messages, documents, and other visual content.

Screen Recording

Record your screen when a static screenshot does not provide enough context.

Screen recording can be used for:

• Bug reports
• Product walkthroughs
• Demonstrations
• Support explanations
• Design reviews

Scrolling Capture

Capture content that extends beyond the visible screen.

Scrolling capture is useful for long webpages, documents, conversations, and other content that cannot fit into a single standard screenshot.

Smart Redaction

Protect sensitive information before sharing screenshots.

The smart redaction workflow can hide details such as:

• Email addresses
• API keys
• Other sensitive information

This helps teams prepare screenshots for external sharing without manually searching every capture for private details.

Drag to Share

Move screenshots directly into other applications without first saving a file.

Drag captured images into chats, email, and other apps to share visual context with fewer steps.

Built For Developers, Designers, and Teams

The app is designed for people who communicate visually throughout the workday.

It is particularly useful for:

• Developers reporting bugs and sharing technical context
• Designers reviewing interfaces and explaining visual decisions
• Product teams turning screenshots into actionable tasks
• Support teams communicating customer issues
• AI users sending visual context to ChatGPT, Claude, and Cursor
• Teams collaborating through screenshots, recordings, and annotated captures

Common Use Cases

Bug Reporting

Capture an issue, annotate the relevant area, and create a Jira issue with AI-assisted details.

Design Reviews

Highlight specific interface elements, add notes, and communicate visual feedback without relying on long written explanations.

AI-Assisted Work

Send screenshots directly into supported AI chats to provide visual context without manually uploading files.

Customer Support

Capture and redact relevant information before sharing visual explanations with customers or teammates.

Product Walkthroughs

Use screen recording when an image cannot adequately explain a workflow or issue.

Long-Page Capture

Capture complete webpages, documents, and conversations with scrolling screenshots.

Local Processing and Desktop Workflow

The app is designed for Windows and macOS with a clean desktop interface. Capture, text reading, and redaction can use local processing, keeping these core workflows close to the device rather than requiring every action to happen remotely.

Local exports also make it possible to keep working with captured material outside the app.

Free and Pro Features

The free version covers core screenshot capture and annotation.

Pro adds:

• OCR
• Screen recording
• Scrolling capture
• AI actions
• Jira issue creation
• Smart redaction

Unlimited annotations and local exports are also supported, making the app suitable for frequent screenshot-based workflows.

Why It Matters

Screenshots often become the starting point for several different tasks: explaining a bug, extracting text, creating a ticket, sharing feedback, or asking an AI assistant for help. Moving between separate capture, annotation, OCR, recording, and project-management tools can add unnecessary friction.

This app brings those steps together. Capture the screen, explain what matters, extract information, protect sensitive details, and share the result without leaving the workflow.

Turn Screenshots Into Useful Context

Capture, annotate, extract, record, redact, and share visual information from one desktop workflow built for developers, designers, and teams.
