What Xnip is

Xnip is a macOS screenshot app for capturing scrolling content and adding annotations. It can capture webpages, long conversations, documents, and code that extend beyond the screen. Window captures retain natural macOS shadows, and users can select multiple windows together. Markup, drawing, pixelation, numbered steps, and highlighting are among its annotation tools. Xnip can recognize on-screen text with an on-device engine, and images can be pinned in an always-on-top floating window. The maker describes it as offline and on-device; the App Store listing says it has no network access permission. That listing also says the developer may collect unlinked usage data and diagnostics, including crash and performance data. Xnip requires macOS 13.5 or later and has no browser extension or cloud sharing. A free app download is listed, as are Xnip Pro Yearly Subscription and No watermark & Edit window options, with no prices shown for those options. The maker offers email support and troubleshooting for capture and purchase issues. Version 2.5.0 is listed with scrolling capture optimization.
