Because I am spending a lot more time annotating screenshots, I went on the hunt for some new tools. For me, all of the functionality is there, but the entire process could use some rethinking. Functionally, I can accomplish my needs using built-in tools, but I struggle with having to drag icons from the desktop into email or Slack continually.
With the built-in tools, I can either grab a screenshot and send to my clipboard or use the annotate tools and then use the built-in sharing extensions. An example of a workflow that I struggle with is taking a quick screenshot, adding an arrow, and attaching it to an email.
I’ve always felt like Apple’s tools for screenshot annotation and screen recording leaves much to be desired. A streamlined workflow enables easy screenshot sharing without cluttering the desktop. Screenshots deliver new on-screen controls for easy access to every screenshot option and new video recording capabilities. QuickTime has long been a built-in tool for macOS to record screen clips, and Apple added some new screen annotation tools in macOS Mojave a few years back. After spending some time with them, it’s clear that macOS screen annotation tools is an area Apple should invest more in.
One of the tasks I found myself doing a lot more than before is a screen recording and screen annotations. I’ve always been the type person who was willing to try a new app to improve my workflows and provide a better result. During COVID–19, I’ve still been working hard to support the teachers at my school during our distance-learning efforts.
