ShotsGlow
CleanShot for Windows. Pay $9 once, no subscription.
Windows never got a CleanShot X, so I built one. ShotsGlow captures any region, drops it on a designed backdrop with shadow and rounded corners, annotates, blurs secrets (the blur survives a crop), and removes backgrounds with on-device AI that runs entirely on your machine: nothing uploaded, works offline. Then it exports to 30 social and App Store sizes. $9 once, lifetime, no subscription, 30-day money-back. Built in public by a solo Windows dev.
Hey PH 👋 I'm Max, a solo Windows dev, and I'm bringing ShotsGlow to Product Hunt today.
I built it because I was tired of watching Mac users get CleanShot X while Windows got the Snipping Tool and a $39/yr Snagit subscription. So I made the whole thing one native Windows app: capture, designed backdrops, annotate, redact (the blur survives a crop), and remove backgrounds with on-device AI.
The one I'm proudest of: the AI background removal runs entirely on your machine. Nothing gets uploaded, and it even works with Wi-Fi off. That's also why it's $9 once, not a subscription (no servers, no monthly bill).
It's live on the Microsoft Store and at shotsglow.com, with a 30-day money-back guarantee. Built in public, so no fake reviews here, just the tool.
Windows folks: what's the one screenshot annoyance you'd kill for? (Mine was the Print Screen key, so I made it freeable in one click.)
Blur that survives cropping is a clever touch, and the local background removal actually works offline without a hitch. Wish I had this on Windows ages ago.
Finally a real screenshot tool for Windows. Loved how the blur stays intact after cropping, that one detail alone beats everything else I've tried.
That blur-survives-a-crop detail is genuinely clever, solves a real annoyance I hit constantly. Respect for building this for Windows when the easy move would be a macOS clone.
finally a clean screenshot tool that actually respects windows users. the on-device background removal is shockingly fast and the shadow backdrops make even my messy mockups look presentable.
the blur surviving a crop is honestly such a thoughtful touch, so many screenshot tools get that wrong. give it a shot if you're on windows.
finally a clean screenshot tool that doesn't feel like a mac port that forgot to compile. the on-device background remover running offline is genuinely useful, and the blur surviving a crop is a nice touch i didn't know i needed.
The blur-survives-crop thing is genuinely clever, didn't know that was even possible on Windows. One thing I'd love: a quick keyboard shortcut to grab the last N screenshots and stitch them into a vertical strip, since I post tutorials and that step is always the most annoying part of my workflow.
A small idea: add a hotkey to instantly capture the last selected region again, so when I'm doing repeated tutorials or bug reports I don't have to drag the rectangle every time. Would save a ton of clicks during longer sessions.
The background removal runs fully offline which is a nice touch, and the blur that actually survives a crop is the kind of detail I wish more screenshot tools bothered with. Nine dollars once is fair too.
Finally a CleanShot X alternative for Windows that actually feels polished. The blur-survives-crop detail is clever, and the on-device background removal worked surprisingly fast on my laptop.
