Screenshots +
screen recordings in one app.
Screendrop is a native, open-source Mac app for screenshots, screen recordings, editing, and self-hosted sharing. It brings the whole workflow into one app. It is an open-source alternative to Loom that stays out of your way.
The app is literally 6.3 mb, fyi.
