Where Does Shottr Save Screenshots?
Shottr is Mac-only and saves screenshots to a folder you choose, with preferences in the app. No fixed output path or published config file exists.
Last updated
Shottr keeps exactly one promise about location: the app itself lives in /Applications. Everything else is your choice. Screenshot output goes to a dedicated folder you set in Preferences, with per-shot Save As as the alternative. No fixed default exists to quote.
Config follows the same pattern. Preferences holds every toggle and no published plist or support path backs it. Mac-only by design, with no Windows or Linux port planned. Learn the two shortcuts and the Preferences pane and you know the whole storage model.
Where Shottr stores this, by platform
/Applications/Shottr.app
Install location via direct download or the Homebrew cask. Captures go to a user-chosen folder set in Preferences, not a fixed path. No published Library config file exists, so manage everything through the app UI.
Frequently asked questions
Where do my Shottr screenshots go?
Open Shottr Preferences and set the auto-save folder there. Pressing Cmd+S saves to that dedicated folder while Cmd+Shift+S prompts for a name and spot each time. There is no hardcoded Pictures default, so check Preferences before hunting the disk.
How do I change Shottr settings?
Change it in Preferences. Auto-save and auto-copy are optional toggles, and telemetry sits under the Advanced and License tabs. No documented plist or support folder backs these, so the UI is the only editor.
Is there a Shottr version for Windows?
Correct. The developer cites low-level macOS APIs and runs it as a hobby project. The Homebrew cask installs the same /Applications copy. Windows and Linux users need a different tool entirely.
