Updating

wxShot checks ntfstool.com once a day and tells you when a new version is out; Settings has a Check for Updates button too. To update, download the new DMG and drag wxShot over the old copy in Applications. Your settings are kept.

If the shortcut does nothing after an update

macOS can forget the Screen Recording permission when an app is replaced. Open System Settings > Privacy & Security > Screen Recording, remove wxShot with the minus button, add it back (or switch it off and on) and reopen the app.

Opening the app

wxShot is signed with a Developer ID and notarized by Apple, so macOS opens it normally. If you are ever warned, make sure you downloaded it from this site or from the official GitHub release.

Checksum (SHA-256)

Verify your download in Terminal with shasum -a 256 wxShot.dmg.

Privacy

No screenshot, text or file leaves your Mac. wxShot asks ntfstool.com once a day whether a new version exists (it sends only its own version number). Optional anonymous “still in use” pings (install id, version, system, language, whether WeChat is running) go out at a few checkpoints in the first month. Switch the pings off in Settings.

Uninstall

Quit wxShot, then drag it from Applications to the Trash.
