Screenshot Tool for Developers
Developers document code, file bug reports, and share technical setups constantly. Savvyshot is a screenshot editor that helps you capture clean, readable screenshots of code, terminal output, and dev tools—without exposing sensitive data or wasting time on formatting.
Common Screenshot Problems for Developers
- •API keys, tokens, or local paths visible in screenshots shared publicly
- •Code screenshots look cluttered or unprofessional in documentation
- •Long terminal outputs or stack traces cut off in a single screenshot
- •Need to annotate screenshots to explain errors or highlight specific lines
- •Switching between screenshot tool, editor, and browser breaks focus
How Savvyshot Helps
Savvyshot streamlines screenshot capture for technical work. Auto-redaction detects and blurs emails and file paths before you share. Add annotations, arrows, and highlights to point out specific code sections or errors. Scroll capture grabs long terminal sessions or error logs in one shot. Pinned window mode lets you keep a reference screenshot visible while coding. Everything runs locally with no cloud dependency.

Features That Matter for Developers
- Auto-redaction: Automatically detects and blurs emails, and paths to prevent leaks
- Annotations and markup: Add arrows, boxes, and text to highlight bugs, explain code, or clarify issues
- Scroll capture: Capture entire terminal sessions, stack traces, or long API responses without cutting off content
- Pinned window: Keep a screenshot floating on top while you code—useful for comparing outputs or following tutorials
- Fast workflow: Capture, edit, and copy to clipboard in seconds without opening a full editor
- Background options: Make code screenshots look cleaner for README files or blog posts
- Local processing: No data uploaded—screenshots stay on your machine
