Looking for simple snip app, like have on PC.

I doubt any third-party app will be less cumbersome than using the Screenshot app (in the Utilities folder). As in the article I linked to, if you hold the Control key when you click "Capture", that will capture the image directly to the Clipboard so you can paste it where you want it. But perhaps someone will be able to suggest an app that will be closer to what you're expecting.

Regards.

FWIW, I have been using Captur for years and have found it to be very simple to use. The (currently) latest version is v3.2 and works with macOS Sequoia without any issues.

Thanks again Varjak. I will read the article. I'm new to Mac so I don't know all the terminology and functions (capturing directly to Clipboard versus having the screenshot image on the desktop).

I appreciate your time.

Clipboard is the temporary "holding pen" where things you copy or cut go so that they can be pasted into other documents. It's the same as the clipboard in Windows (Microsoft copied a lot of terminology from Apple's early operating systems). Copying directly to the Clipboard with Screenshot saves the step of saving the screenshot, opening the image, and then copying it there (which also goes to the Clipboard).

By default screen shots are saved to your Desktop. If it's not there, perhaps you changed the location. See:

Taking a snip of a portion of the screen is not a three-step process; at least it doesn't need to be. Press Shift-Command-4 and drag to select the portion of the screen you wish to capture.

If properly downloaded, it should appear on your macOS Desktop as a file named: captur-3.2.zip.

To get to that step, start at the developer's website, and select:

A new page will open. From that page, select:

This one is a bit tricky. Notice the down arrow at the far right? That is what you click on to start the download.

Next, you will be presented with the following:

Just select the "Or continue with download only.

You should now see this dialog box. If you click on "Save" it should place the captur-3.2.zip file on the macOS Desktop. Once there double-click on it and it will unzip to a file named: Captur-3.2.dmg. Finally double-click on that file and it will start the installation process to copy the file to your /Applications folder. Finally, once there, double-click on its icon and it will launch the app and place it on the macOS menubar. This is where you would access it when you want to use it.
