For macOS

Everything you do to a screenshot, in the app that opens it.

One shortcut, and your screenshot lands in an editor that already has the arrow, the blur, the crop and the background. No separate snipping tool. No drawing app on the side. No subscription.

The Cheese! editor with the full toolbar open on a captured dashboard
New in 1.3

Faces, black bars and a memory

Now it spots faces too

On top of e-mail addresses, phone numbers and amounts, it now finds IBANs, card numbers, API keys, addresses — and faces, even small ones.

Blur or a solid black bar

Choose what a redaction looks like. A pixelated blur, or a black bar that leaves nothing to guess at.

Your last five, remembered

Closed a screenshot without saving? Cheese! keeps the last five. Reopen one from the menu bar icon or the clock in the editor.

Native, and tiny

Plain Swift. Not Electron, not a browser in a trench coat. It opens before you have let go of the shortcut.

Nothing leaves your Mac

No account, no sign-in, no cloud, no telemetry. The text recognition and the blurring all run locally.

Pay once

One price, no subscription, no upsell inside the app. Family Sharing works.

Built for the screenshots you actually send

The ones with a customer name in them, a revenue figure, or a colleague who needs an arrow pointing at the right button.

Sensitive data and faces, blurred automatically

Click once and Cheese! finds what should not leave your screen. You tick what actually gets hidden.

e-mail · phone numbers · amounts · IBANs · card numbers · API keys · addresses · faces · your own words

  • Detection runs on-device — nothing is uploaded
  • Pick your style: a pixelated blur or a solid black bar
  • Add your own words: customer names, project codes
  • Or blur by hand: drag a box over anything

Capture exactly what matters

Point at a window and Cheese! takes just that window — or just its content, so a web page arrives without the address bar and your bookmarks.

  • Full screen, one window, or an area you drag
  • The screen freezes while you choose, so open menus stay open
  • Loupe with crosshair, coordinates and hex value
  • Recent screenshots: reopen your last five, even after closing

Annotate without switching apps

Arrows, boxes, text, speech balloons and numbered steps. Everything stays an object afterwards — select it, move it, resize it, undo it.

  • Emoji and your own images, pasted or dragged in
  • Focus and dim to push the rest of the image back
  • Color, thickness and size per tool

Presentable in one click

Twelve backgrounds, or your own color or photo, with a shadow and rounded corners. The difference between a raw grab and something you are happy to put in a deck.

  • Crop with a live preview of what remains
  • Rounded corners for the whole image
  • ⌘C to the clipboard, ⌘S to your own folder
