Redaction replaces the pixels.

Blur and pixelation are cosmetic: hidden text can remain recoverable, and Recortia itself labels both as not secure. Redaction replaces the covered pixels with an opaque color in every copy, save, drag, and pin.

  • Redaction 1: Secure
  • Pixelation 1: Not secure
  • Blur 1: Not secure
A synthetic notes window with a report and the line API key: sk-live-4111-1111-1111-1111 in plain view. The same window exported by Recortia: blurred title, two pixelated lines, and the key covered by a solid black bar.

From capture to share.

The Recortia menu bar menu with the capture options.

Capture your way

A region, a window, or the whole display, delayed or repeating the last region. The default shortcuts are the macOS ones: ⇧⌘3, ⇧⌘4, and ⇧⌘5.

A capture with a red arrow, ellipse, highlight, and numbered steps.

Mark up

Text, arrows, rectangles, ellipses, freehand, highlighter, and numbered steps, with grouped undo.

Review of a scrolling capture with the full page stitched together.

Scrolling capture

Manual by default. When a match is ambiguous, it pauses instead of producing a wrong stitch.

The Text and QR panel with recognized text and Copy Text and Clear buttons.

Text and QR codes on device

Text recognition in English and Portuguese with Vision. QR links open only when you click.

A loupe magnifying the pixels of a capture, with the coordinate and color.

Pixel by pixel

A nearest-neighbor loupe, a ruler, and an sRGB color picker in HEX and RGB.

Pinned captures floating above the desktop.

Pin it

Up to five floating references with adjustable opacity and zoom.

Everything happens on your Mac.

No network requests

Recortia talks to no server. There is no account, telemetry, or cloud.

Nothing leaves until you ask

Nothing is saved or copied until you choose Copy, Save, or drag the image out.

Clean exports

Every image is freshly encoded, with no EXIF, GPS, text chunks, or hidden layers.

Permissions only when needed

Screen Recording at your first capture. Accessibility only if you turn on automatic scrolling.

Redaction protects the image you export. It cannot recall copies you exported earlier or other apps’ clipboard histories.

Install with Homebrew.

brew install --cask mneves75/tap/recortia

Or download the notarized DMG. Requires macOS 15 or later on Apple Silicon.

To use ⇧⌘3, ⇧⌘4, and ⇧⌘5 in Recortia, turn off the macOS ones in System Settings › Keyboard › Keyboard Shortcuts › Screenshots. Recortia never changes them itself.
