Product summary
Zappy is a lightweight screen-capture utility built to help distributed teams share visual information quickly. It makes grabbing screenshots and recording short screen videos simple, so teammates can give clear feedback without long explanations. The interface is straightforward, which lowers the friction for creating and sharing captures within a team.
Main capabilities
- Annotation toolkit: add text notes, arrows, and highlights to explain points directly on images and recordings.
- Instant screenshot capture for single frames or selected areas.
- Screen recording for short demonstrations or walkthroughs.
- Fast sharing options to distribute captures to colleagues or paste into messages.
Collaboration benefits
Because it combines capture and annotation, Zappy reduces back-and-forth and speeds up reviews. Visual comments make it easier to point out exact issues, and short recordings help demonstrate dynamic behavior that a static image cannot.
Recommended replacements

- Other comparable tools — various free and paid screen-capture apps are available depending on platform and feature needs.
