Can you port it to Windows? Windows has, from what I can tell, no decent screenshotting + annotating tool that compares with Skitch or any of the Mac alternatives. Lightshot comes the closest to a decent, light, free alternative but it's still not ideal. The built in Windows tool is nice (win + shift + S) but there's no arrows, it's a faff to get straight lines and it's just up to the quality of the OSX tools. I started making one but like all side projects it just sits there waiting for that elusive "free time". Thanks

I recently discovered greenshot. It's not perfect but I found it covered 95% of what I wanted while putting together some tutorial content recently (drawing decent arrows, highlighting important regions, etc)

  Try ShareX, I used to use Greenshot but ShareX has more features like video recording.

When I was using Windows, I used ShareX that was working really well.

I’ve been quite happy with Lightscreen on Windows.

Windows 10 has a very nice app called Snip & Sketch. Just type snip after pressing Windows button.

  It's good for captures, but awful for annotations. Try the following: - Draw a straight line on an image (you have to pick the ruler, then draw along the ruler) - Drawn an arrow on an image (not freehand) - surround something with a box - Add some text It just falls too short

  I second that. It's stupid powerful, and costs only 20$ for lifetime licence.
