Comments: Heavily underrated tool IMHO. It can capture the entire screen, a selected portion of it, a window, menus or the Touch Bar. It is even able to capture videos!

I don't have a mac but sounds great and if it can also capture videos, it is far more advanced than the default of windows 👍

Ever since the Mojave update it's been an absolute joy to create screenshots with macOS. Not that it was terrible, but the cmd + shift + 5 shortcut is amazing. You can quickly grab a screenshot of a window, your entire desktop, just a small portion. Want to take a video? You've got the same options for it right there!
