Skitch
Skitch is a lightweight screenshot and annotation utility that lets users capture screenshots, add annotations like arrows, text, and shapes, and share them quickly. It was widely used by product teams, designers, developers, and educators for creating annotated visual feedback and documentation. Skitch was historically available as a standalone Mac app and was also integrated into Evernote's ecosystem.

1 suggestionSkitch has been discontinued by its developer and is no longer receiving updates or support. While the app is still available on the Mac App Store and technically runs under Rosetta 2 on Apple Silicon Macs today, there is no native build and no plan to create one. Apple is removing Rosetta 2 entirely in macOS 28 (September 2028), which means Skitch will stop launching on that release and beyond. If you rely on Skitch's annotation workflow, you should migrate to a modern alternative before the deadline. Snagit (a paid commercial tool from TechSmith) offers similar screenshot and annotation features with native Apple Silicon support and more polished UI. For a free option, Annotate (available on the Mac App Store) or built-in screenshot markup via macOS's native screenshot tools (Shift-Command-5) plus Preview's annotation features can cover most annotation needs. Many teams have also moved to collaborative tools like Figma or Loom for visual feedback at scale.
