Hey Product Hunt! 👋
I’m Igor, and I built Shhshot to make taking and sharing screenshots less stressful.
Whether you’re a developer, designer, or anyone sharing your screen — it’s too easy to leak sensitive data like API keys, emails, or credit card numbers. So I made a macOS tool that hides them automatically the moment you snap.
It’s super lightweight, works locally (no cloud), and every screenshot goes straight into a share-ready clipboard. We also added simple editing (draw, crop, blur) and one-click sharing — all in an early alpha.
Heads up: Sensitive data detection is evolving — it currently catches most API keys and card numbers, but it’s not perfect yet. We’re improving it with every update and planning to add detection for emails, phone numbers, addresses, and support for custom ML models.
Would love your thoughts, feedback, and questions — thanks for checking it out! 🙏
Very nice product! One suggestion I would give is don't use blur as it's not destructive.
Congrats on the launch, Ihor! Cool idea — this solves a real anxiety point when sharing screenshots in fast-moving environments. Curious: do you plan to support custom pattern detection or allow users to define what should be hidden?
This looks great, nice work Ihor! Do you plan on expanding into video in the future?
