Ledge takes over ⇧⌘4 — the capture is the real macOS crosshair — then every shot lands on a floating shelf. Drag it into Slack, copy it, trash it, or just let it slide away. It even catches screenshots you take without it.
Download for Mac · free · 570 KBLedge drives macOS’s own capture engine — same crosshair, window picker, sounds and shadows. Space still toggles window mode; esc still cancels.
Every capture slides onto a floating shelf. Drag a thumbnail into any app or Finder, hover to copy or trash, double-click to open, right-click for everything else.
Ledge watches your screenshot folder — even shots taken with the system’s own shortcuts appear on the shelf.
Keep the shelf on the right edge of your screen, or hang it under the notch as a horizontal tray. Pin it, or let it auto-hide after 8 seconds.
One copy puts both the file and the image on the clipboard — paste a file into Finder, paste pixels into Figma.
Screen recording with one keystroke; the menu-bar icon turns red while it’s rolling. Timers, clipboard mode and a custom save folder round it out.
