The fastest way to capture screenshots and screen recordings on your iPhone and Mac. One tap to capture, instant link to share. Your clips self-destruct for privacy.
Your shared screenshot appears here
Workflow
Take a screenshot or record your screen on iPhone or Mac. Use the built-in share sheet or the ClipShot menu bar app.
Your clip is instantly uploaded and a shareable link is copied to your clipboard. Paste it anywhere — Slack, email, social media.
Your clip self-destructs after viewing. No accounts, no clutter, no trace. Privacy by design.
Capabilities
Captured media is uploaded in the background. Your shareable link is ready before you can blink.
Record your screen with audio, just like Loom. Perfect for bug reports, tutorials, and quick demos.
Clips auto-expire after a set number of views or a time limit. Your content, your rules.
The share link is automatically copied the moment your clip is uploaded. Just paste and go.
Built with Swift for a seamless Apple experience. Integrates with Share Sheet, menu bar, and keyboard shortcuts.
Recipients can download the original file in full quality. No compression, no watermarks, no sign-up required.
Built for your workflow
Record the glitch, paste the link in the ticket. The clip is gone once the developer has seen it — no screenshots rotting in chat history.
Share a work-in-progress with a client without it living forever. First view or 24 hours — you decide how long it exists.
A config, an invoice, a screenshot with details that shouldn't float around. Send it knowing it self-destructs after one view.
CI failures, cron reports, alert snapshots — post ephemeral links straight from your scripts with the ClipShot API.
Your data
Every clip you share is set to self-destruct. Choose between single-view expiry or a time-based countdown. Once expired, your files are permanently deleted from our servers. No analytics, no tracking, no data mining.
Integrations
The same API that powers the ClipShot app is open to your product. Upload a file with one REST call and get back a self-destructing link — for bug bots, CI pipelines, support tools, anything.

}ClipShot is a Mac and iOS app that captures screenshots and screen recordings and turns them into an instant, private share link. Capture, share, done.
Yes. By default a clip is deleted after its first view, and you can also set a time limit of up to 30 days. As a safety net, every clip is permanently removed after 30 days at the latest. Once it is gone, it is gone for good — we keep no copies.
No. ClipShot has no sign-up and no login. You can start capturing and sharing immediately, and we never ask for personal details.
Yes. ClipShot is free to download on the Mac App Store, and sharing clips costs nothing.
No. The app contains no analytics or tracking SDKs, requires no account, and your clips are never scanned. Privacy is the default, not a setting.
Images, screen recordings and any other file up to 50 MB per clip. Images and videos get an inline preview page; other files are offered as a download.
You choose: self-destruct on first view (the default), or a timer from 1 minute up to 30 days. Expired clips are deleted from our servers within minutes by an automatic cleanup.
Yes. Deleting the clip from the app (or via the API with your delete token) removes the file immediately and permanently.
Anyone you give the link to, while the clip is alive. Links use long random tokens that cannot be guessed, and expired links show nothing. Treat the link like the file itself.
Yes. The ClipShot API lets your app or pipeline upload files and get self-destructing share links with one REST call. See clipshot.io/developers for documentation and how to request a key.
