The best screenshot app for Mac just became a screen recording powerhouse
CleanShot X already made screenshots easy. Now it wants to make screen recording and editing just as painless.
CleanShot-X-version-5-running-on-Mac

CleanShot X is the best screenshot app for Mac. It's one of my favorite Mac apps, and I've already covered all its features in a previous article. The app just received its 5.0 update, and it's such a massive release that I had to write about it.

CleanShot X already had a built-in screen recording feature, but it was pretty bare-bones. With this update, the app has grown into a proper screen recording studio. You can now record your Mac's screen, edit that recording, add zooms and backgrounds, and do a whole lot more without ever leaving the app.

According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, Apple plans to accelerate renovations across its retail network over the next several years. New and upgraded stores will reorganize online pickups and Today at Apple sessions, bring back dedicated Genius Bars, and phase out the giant video walls found at many locations.

The best password managers for 2026
have i been pwned owner uncovers 13 million plaintext passwords leaked from free webhost is a safe password even possible we

Passwords are still a fact of digital life, even as passkeys slowly start to change how we sign in to our accounts. Apple, Google, and other platforms have also made their built-in password managers much more capable, giving people more options than ever for keeping track of their credentials. A dedicated password manager still has an important advantage, though: it can bring passwords, passkeys, two-factor authentication, secure notes, and shared credentials together across the different devices and platforms you use.

The best password managers also make good security habits easier to maintain. They can generate unique passwords instead of leaving you to come up with another variation of the same one, flag compromised credentials, and make it easier to share access without passing passwords around in messages. For families and people who regularly move between operating systems, they can be particularly useful, while privacy-focused services offer another reason to look beyond the tools built into your phone or browser.
