TetherShot
Screenshot your iPhone, straight from the Mac menu bar
A tiny macOS menu-bar app that screenshots your iPhone — pixel-perfect — into a folder you choose and onto your clipboard. Capture over USB (native AVFoundation, full resolution, zero setup) or Wi-Fi (cable-free, even when the phone is locked). Plus a global hotkey (⌘⇧7), per-device folders, and in-app self-updates. Native Swift, local-first (no telemetry, no servers), open source, install with one npm command. The iPhone screenshot tool Apple never shipped.
Hey Product Hunt! 👋
I'm Apoorv, the maker of TetherShot.
I kept needing clean iPhone screenshots on my Mac and got tired of the QuickTime → record → pause → grab dance (and AirPlay mirroring just blacks out the
moment you try to capture it). So I built the tool I wished existed: click the menu bar → pixel-perfect iPhone screenshot, dropped into your folder and
copied to your clipboard.
Two ways to capture:
🔌 USB — instant, native AVFoundation, full resolution
📶 Wi-Fi — cable-free over your local network, even when the phone is locked (via Apple's developer-services tunnel)
It's native Swift, runs as a tiny menu-bar agent, and it's fully local — no accounts, no telemetry, no servers. Open source (MIT), and installs with one
command:
npm install -g tethershot
Would love your feedback — what would make this a daily-driver for you? Android support? Annotation tools? A packaged build? I'm listening 🙏
