- **Screenshots and web page capture:** Captures the full screen or a selection, saves a whole web page in one click, and opens the result in an image editor for annotation and adjustment.
- **iPhone and iPad recording:** Records the screen of an iPhone or iPad connected to the Mac, so a voiceover and edits can be added afterward.
