One hotkey, zero friction.\n- **Screen recording with built-in editor** \u2014 record any area or full screen as MP4/GIF with system audio + microphone. Audio merge dialog with per-track volume control. Trim and export without leaving the app.\n- **Scroll capture** \u2014 select a region and scroll. macshot stitches it into one seamless tall (or wide) image automatically.\n- **Upload anywhere** \u2014 one-click upload to Google Drive, imgbb, or any S3-compatible service (Cloudflare R2, AWS S3, MinIO, etc.). Link copied to clipboard instantly.\n- **Lightweight \u0026 native** \u2014 ~8 MB memory at idle. Lives in your menu bar. Built with Swift and AppKit, not a web browser in disguise.\n- **40 languages** \u2014 English, \u4e2d\u6587, \u65e5\u672c\u8a9e, \ud55c\uad6d\uc5b4, Deutsch, Fran\u00e7ais, Espa\u00f1ol, Italiano, Portugu\u00eas, \u0627\u0644\u0639\u0631\u0628\u064a\u0629, \u0939\u093f\u0928\u094d\u0926\u0940, and 29 more. Auto-detects your system language.\n\n---\n\n## Install\n\n**Homebrew:**\n```bash\nbrew install --cask macshot\n```\n\n**Manual:** Download the latest `.dmg` from [Releases](https://github.com/sw33tLie/macshot/",
