The Rule of Three: Gold, Silver, Bronze

Following the rule of three principle, we present exactly three curated solutions for screenshot and record.

🥇 Gold
🏆 William's Choice

Snipaste

The ultimate screenshot tool.

Press F1 to snip. Pin the screenshot to your screen for reference. Essential for devs.

Why I picked this:

Snipaste is my top choice because the pinning feature is a game-changer. I can take a screenshot and pin it to my screen while I work, which is incredibly useful for coding, design work, or any task where I need to reference something. The F1 shortcut is fast and intuitive, and the tool is lightweight without sacrificing features. It's become essential to my workflow.

Pinning Lightweight
🥈 Silver

OBS Studio

Professional grade recording/streaming.

Free, open source, and powerful. Overkill for simple clips, but perfect for quality.

Open Source Pro
🥉 Bronze

CleanShot X (Mac) / ShareX (Win)

The OS-specific powerhouses.

CleanShot is beautiful but paid. ShareX is ugly but powerful and free.
