At first I didn't really get it, but skitch has totally changed my life. If you work on any kind of web development, you need this tool!

p.s. give it a chance, you get used to the whacky UI.

Skitch has definitely broken the mold where it comes to Apple's UI guidelines, and yet I don't seem to mind. My greatest feature request is a default setting for the cursor so I can stop undoing accidental drawing on my images.

I upload a lot of screenprints to mySkitch so that they don't clutter up my Flickr photostream, especially since I've set no downloading for anyone on Flickr. Skitch's webspace comes in handy for those few images I do want the public to have access to the original sized image.

It's a handy resizer and image converter, too, and it is now my default Quick Add Drop Shadow application, superceding ImageWell. I can not say enough nice things about Skitch.

@adidas... I don't think Skitch was ever meant to be a bulk uploader to Flickr. plasq should continue to keep things simple. Flickr's got an Organizr for tags and titles.

I love everything about Skitch. Yet another perfect app to make pc users feel envy.

I have only one feature request:

- Option to automatically add icon thumbnails for the pictures you drag to the Finder.

Anybody knows the price after Skitch gets out of Beta?
(Maybe the developer could give us that information...)

I was just debating the need for anything more than print screen and Photoshop on Windows. I got a Mac recently and my friend told me to give Skitch a try (and sign up for the beta) and I have say I'm converted--Skitch is awesome!

I LOVE SKITCH! I use it at work to capture and annotate UI defects in our applications. I use it at home to add images to my blog posts. I tell my friends and coworkers about Skitch constantly, and I can't wait for the general release. Hoping for full-page capture (with scrolling) one day!

I've been using Skitch since MacWorld 2007. It's an amazing app and I use it nearly every day. If you are active online it is THE best way to share photos, screen grabs, images you've discovered, etc. If you find something you want to share just drag it to Skitch, mark it up how you'd like, click upload and paste the result where you want it to appear.

I can't believe I used to post without using Skitch. I can get my point across in exactly the way I want to. I feel so much more active and so much more expressive.

nice program. It's a great idea. Especially the built in sharing function. I guess it will be a great help to explain stuff and share ideas.
However I agree to the previous post. The user interface is extremly akward. I don't like it. It feels more like a flash game than a proper application. I would love to see it with a real mac carbon interface.
Also when cropping the image you're automatically resizing the window. Somehow that takes up to much computing power and the frame doesn't move smooth when I crop.

anyway. Excellent concept and nice app.

great tool, but the developers should have a look at the Apple Human Interface Guidelines

Basically a screencap tool that allows you to overlay vector graphics on top of it, flattens the whole thing for you and saves files by just drag and dropping. Includes a photobucket-type application completely streamlined.

I had a lot of reservations about this program because of the hype that surrounds it, but I'm pleasantly surprised by the results. Integrates very well with Mailplane, too!

A few minor issues so far - the image browser is clunky and the web app could use some work - flickr this isn't. Tagging from the desktop client would also be welcome, as well as a mass-upload feature.
