Greenshot
Greenshot for Mac captures regions, windows or the full screen and adds annotations, highlighting and obscuring before export.
Pick for simple annotated screenshots from the menu bar.
Capture, quick markup and clipboard or file output form a compact everyday workflow.
Keep in mind: The developer explicitly warns that the Mac edition has fewer features than Greenshot for Windows. Screen Recording permission is required on newer macOS versions.
