Things i Like and Things that can Improve

I Like:

CleanshotX: Merging Screenshot, Annotations Options, Recording+Gif, the floating feature is very useful

Shottr: Text Only blurr, Screen Ruler, Color Picker

Xnapper: Rations and Sizing for SM Platforms, Auto Redact, Double Click to Copy

What can improve:

CleanshotX:
adding more feature like a ruler and Color Picker

Shottr:
Screenshot Merging shouldn't be a paid feature imo, background Customizability

Xnapper:
more options on how to capture screenshots, more annotation customizability (styles, Weights)
