The Mac app Ember makes it easy to take screenshots with annotations

Many of you will probably still be familiar with the LittleSnapper Mac app. This used to be the non-plus-ultra when you often had to annotate screenshots, arrows, boxes and the like. Unfortunately, the software and the store are no longer being developed RealMac Software has an official successor in its program with Ember. With over 40 EUR purchase price in the Mac Appstore However, this has a hefty price, which naturally creates high expectations that the first versions of Ember unfortunately could not meet. After the last update, however, things get more interesting again ...

New features through future updates

The developers have already written on their website that they have received many feature requests and are now trying to gradually implement them in future versions. The last update that has just arrived extends Ember with the “Smart Drawing” function. This is a practical tool for annotating screenshots or other graphics. You can simply draw a squiggly arrow, circle or other geometric shape with your mouse and the software will recognize what it should have been and then replace the squiggly with a nice shape. Very convenient!

A hodgepodge for design ideas, screenshots, websites and much more

Ember sees itself not only as a simple screenshotApp but can organize many graphics as well as share on social media. Channels such as Tumblr, Facebook, Twitter and the like are available for this. When saving websites, Ember is particularly interesting, because with the app you can not only save the visible area but also include the entire website in the album. An important point for web designers in particular if you want to show customers a new screenshot of the website.
