Flying Meat Comes To Your Mac With A FlySketch.

Flying MeatWouldn’t it be great to have a highlighter pen for what you see on your Mac’s screen? Right. When pigs fly!

Guess what? Pigs are flying. FlyingMeat’s FlySketch does highlight and annotation with screen captures.

If you do screen captures and send information to others, wouldn’t it be great to drop in notes? That’s what FlySketch does.

First, it’ll highlight anything on your screen. You capture a web page, then use the FlySketch tools to highlight whatever you want. Capture a whole screen, part of a screen, part of.... (excerpted).

Used to love it, too. But Skitch does rule here, I’m afraid. I resisted it for a long time, since I’d actually paid for FlySketch I suppose. But eventually Skitch’s simpler, snazzier and more powerful interface and many other elegant features won me over: Grab History, 1-click Internet sharing, free hosting, effortless scaling, dragging off, and renaming, formating after grabbing… And that window-positioning-then-resizing method for grabbing is way less efficient than Skitch’s simple marquee-dragging approach. Skitch’s been free now for over a year, has no beta-related issues that I’ve ever encountered, and I’ll pay whatever I need to to keep it; it’s an essential.

I am a big fan of Plasq’s “Skitch” which allows you to capture the screen, frames, etc. and then ‘mark-up’ (lines, arrows, type, etc.) your frame capture.

Still in beta but definitely my favorite screen capture/mark-up app.

I am a user of all three of Flying Meat’s app—FlyGesture, FlySketch and VoodooPad.  For me, FlySketch is just one of those programs that scratches an itch like no other.  It has rivals of course but in my book FlySketch beats the competition.
