A tiny, open-source macOS menu bar app that turns your screenshots into floating thumbnails you can drag anywhere.
macOS 13+ · Apple Silicon & Intel · Notarized DMG
Screenshots appear as floating thumbnails. Drag them directly into any app — Slack, Figma, email, anywhere that accepts files.
Replaces macOS's slow floating thumbnail with instant, always-ready previews. No more waiting for the built-in animation.
Runs quietly in the background with zero UI clutter. Access settings from a simple menu bar icon.
Signed and notarized by Apple. No Gatekeeper warnings, no accessibility hacks. Just install and go.
A single Swift file, no dependencies. Read every line of code, fork it, or contribute on GitHub.
Detects screenshots in English, Chinese, Japanese, and German — works with any macOS locale out of the box.
Grab the latest notarized .dmg from the releases page or use the download button above.
Open the DMG and drag EasyShot.app into your Applications folder.
For the best experience, turn off the built-in floating thumbnail:
defaults write com.apple.screencapture show-thumbnail -bool false && killall SystemUIServer
Press Cmd+Shift+4 and watch the thumbnail appear. Drag it wherever you need it.
