Hey Product Hunt 👋 Mike here, Head of Labs and co-founder at Zapier. We know remote work comes with new challenges. Over the last 8+ years, we've grown Zapier to 300+ employees across 17 time zones. And along the way, we've discovered effective ways to collaborate without an office. Zappy is a cornerstone tool that increases the bandwidth of our team's communication. It's an all-in-one screen-capture app that we built ourselves. You can use it to annotate screenshots, make GIFs, and record your screen in fewer steps than with most built-in tools. Since a lot of the world is suddenly working remotely, we’re releasing a public version of Zappy for free. We've found it to be an invaluable tool for sharing images in Slack, emails, and everywhere else. We hope Zappy helps you and your team move faster, even when you’re not in the same location. Zappy is still in early access, so there might be some rough edges to smooth out. We're also working on features like: - Self-hosted storage via Amazon S3 - Capture retention + access settings - A Zapier integration :-) A bonus for paid Zapier customers: Auto-uploads to the cloud. We host those uploads and add a link to your clipboard automatically. It's great for markdown or adding text links to tutorials. We hope you like it, and if you have any feedback, let us know!

I've been using Zappy over a year internally. It definitely is one of my favorite tools we use at Zapier. A fast screenshot tool is necessary for remote teams and Zappy is by far the fastest I have used.

Hey all, Mirko here from Blackbelt Labs who co-built Zappy with Mike and the Zapier team. From all the apps we've built over the years, Zappy is the one that gets by far my most personal usage. Excited to get this out publicly and looking forward to feedback from early access users!

Can you screenshot pages that require scrolling? For example, long sales pages?

I'm biased probably, but I have LOVED using Zappy over the last year. Super clean and easy to use.

A really important and useful tool for product managers. Capture a screenshot, annotate it really quickly and share it on Slack. Even if you are not remote, still a really useful tool!

Digging it so far - appreciate the 'pin' functionality to float a screenshot! Think it may replace CloudApp + ScreenFloat for me potentially...

Awesome tool guys! Always love seeing the stuff you're coming up with @wadefoster @mikeknoop @mirkokiefer

wow, this is cool) now i can easily explain some things to my friends)

Nice! I set mine to key off of Opt+Shift+4 to quickly do what my Mac Screenshot does but shareable.

Handy. Will you include system audio as well at some point?

Love it! I'd like to request two things if possible: 1) a zoomed preview when selecting the area to capture 2) a shortcut (like Cmd+C) when selecting an area to copy the hex color under the mouse cursor

This is rad!

Played with it for 5 mins today. Loking what I have seen so far.

I feel like this is the result of one of those moments where someone at Zapier didn't like the existing solutions (although there are very good solutions (CleanShot 2.0, Xnip, etc), and thought they could build their own, started using it internally, and then thought "we should release this". DOA for me since it requires a paid Zapier account to use at all.

I joined Zapier just over 6 months ago and reluctantly installed Zappy. I was a die-hard Skitch user for years so wasn't thrilled at the prospect of switching tools. Within about a week (no joke), I was totally sold. Zappy is excellent (and there's room for improvement—especially when it gets supercharged with connections to Zapier for image-first automations). A few pro tips: take a screenshot, then press cmd+c to just copy the image itself to your clipboard for easy pasting. If you prefer to share images as links (and you have a pro account), you can press enter and it'll upload to S3 then give you a shareable link. Personally, I prefer copying the image (almost always) and only use the link itself if I'm linking off some text. Pro tip #2: learn the keyboard shortcuts (there's like 5 + colors). Super easy and handy to snap a shot, add an arrow, add some text, cmd+c to copy, and voila. Pro tip #3: it takes videos/GIFs! So. Fast... and easy for quick screen shares. As a student of startups, I always worry about our small team stretching too thin... but I'm optimistic about us sharing Zappy because it's so handy and now I can use it on my personal laptop too 🤞

I can't get it to open on my mac. I'm running Mojave - 10.14.6. I unzip the file, run it but nothing happens. Anyone got any ideas?

Looks very nice.

Does not open on my Macbook. I am running macOS Catalina 10.15.4. I have put the file inside the application folder. Any idea what is happening?

@mirkokiefer @mikeknoop I'm not a Mac user, but this is an incredible and useful way to capture your screen. Well done. cc @zapier
