Skitch

Version: 1.0b8.5 || Release Date: 2010-01-14 || License: Freeware Developer: plasq

Share images, ideas and have fun with friends online.

Skitch allows you to take screenshots on your Mac, edit them and share them with others. It makes the sharing process seamless by making it a natural workflow to send the image (with edited arrows and other highlights helpful to your client) to them via email or automatic website uploads. It is especially popular with the designer community, as they show their clients rough drafts of their work in a nearly automated process. It makes it simple to work remotely with someone and pass on work revisions and get feedback quickly. Other uses include:

  • Snap a website
  • Capture a chat moment
  • Screenshot an application
  • iSight snap your bad hair day
  • Quickly sketch an idea
  • Tap into your iPhoto Library
    Re-open images from your Skitch History

iut download link points to an outdated beta version that, once installed, complains that its expired on first run and prompts you to download another update.
This should be the right link from their web site I think:

@unremarkable the glitches from October should be resolved.

@bitnix We are working very steadily on a 1.0 now :) Heaps of exciting stuff coming.

When will this app get out of beta? Just curious since it's been around for very long. (And it's still my favorite screenshot sharing tool.)

An interface even quirkier than ImageWell's, but with added instability. If they stopped it crashing, and gave it a standard interface (stop bloody resizing yourself—that's my decision!), and gave it away without you having to fill in your personal details, &c...but until then, I'm sticking with ImageWell.

I love Skitch!!! It is so useful. After reading about it from Lifehacker.com, you will not be able to go one day without using it. Each and every day, I use it. Whether I need a simple screen shot or just need to put some simple text on a photo. Also, it lets you upload super fast.

Skitch is recommended.

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.
