Coming to iPhone · September 2026

Make every shot pop.

A native iPhone app that turns a plain screenshot into something worth posting — mesh backgrounds, real device frames, proper annotations, and one tap that covers anything sensitive.

Your screenshots never leave your phone. There is no upload.

The difference

Nothing to upload.
Nothing to trust.

A tool that runs in a browser has to receive your screenshot before it can do anything with it. Shotpop is a native iPhone app: the editing, the text recognition and the export all happen on your device.

Read the full privacy policy

  • No image ever leaves the device. There is no upload path in the app. Backgrounds, frames, filters and export are rendered locally.
  • Redaction runs on device. Text recognition uses Apple's Vision framework locally — the screenshot is never sent anywhere to be read.
  • No account, no server. Projects live on your iPhone and travel in your device backup. There is nothing for us to host and nothing for us to read.
  • Add-only Photos access. Saving an export needs add-only permission. Importing uses the system picker, which needs no library access at all.
  • No account. No sign-up. No email address is collected. Open the app and start.

Being precise: the app does use third-party services for things that aren't your images — analytics and crash reporting, subscription management, ads on the free tier, and stock-photo search queries when you open that picker. All of it is itemised in the privacy policy.

The backdrop

Thirty meshes that actually move.

The mesh gradient isn't wallpaper — it's the identity. Every preset is a live 9-point mesh you can drop a screenshot onto, plus solid colours, twenty procedural patterns, and your own photos when you want a real backdrop.

The frame

Seven frames, or none at all.

iPhone 17 Pro, iPhone 16, iPhone SE, Pixel 9, iPad mini, MacBook Pro and a browser window. Pick the one your screenshot actually came from — or leave it bare and let the mesh do the work.

On the shot

Say what you mean, hide what you don't.

One tap to redact everything sensitive

Auto-redaction reads the screenshot with Apple's on-device text recognition and covers what shouldn't be public — email addresses, card numbers, API keys — before you post it. The recognition happens on your phone; the screenshot is never sent anywhere to be scanned.

  • Privacy blur & pixelate for anything the scanner can't name.
  • Spotlight dims and blurs everything outside the region you care about.
  • Subject Lift isolates a subject from a photo using on-device Vision.

Annotate it like a designer, not a marker pen

Text, shapes, arrows, freehand draw, numbered badges, emoji and badge stickers, and QR codes — all on a layer stack you can reorder, hide and undo.

A screenshot is a document. It deserves a layout.

Quote cards · six typographic treatments

The output

Built for the places you actually post.

Shotpop isn't one editor with one export button. It's a set of composers, each shaped around a job you already do by hand.

App Store screenshots at the exact required sizes

Pick your screenshot, pick a device preset, and the composer renders at the precise pixel dimensions App Store Connect expects — so the upload doesn't bounce back.

Three of the seven presets. The composer covers iPhone 6.9″, 6.7″, 6.5″ and 5.5″, and iPad 13″, 12.9″ and 11″.

Code snippets with real syntax highlighting

Paste code instead of a screenshot and Shotpop composes it as a snippet card, highlighted and framed, on the same mesh backgrounds as everything else.

// on-device, always
let request = VNRecognizeTextRequest()
request.recognitionLevel = .accurate
try handler.perform([request])
let hits = request.results ?? []
redact(hits, matching: .sensitive)

Carousels and long captures

Carousel export slices one wide composition into evenly cut slides for a multi-image post. Scroll Stitch joins a run of long-page captures back into a single continuous image first.

One composition, sliced into four slides.

Share Extension

Send a screenshot straight into Shotpop from the system share sheet, without opening the app first.

Widgets & Shortcuts

Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets, plus App Shortcuts so Siri and the Shortcuts app can start a project.

A gradient game, because why not

A small mesh-matching game hides in the app. It exists purely because gradients are fun to chase.

Questions

Straight answers.

Do you see my screenshots?

No. Shotpop has no upload path — editing, text recognition and export all run on your iPhone. Projects are stored on the device and are included in your iPhone backup, which is Apple's infrastructure. We don't host it and we can't read it.

Does it work offline?

Yes. Backgrounds, frames, filters, annotations, auto-redaction and export are all local, so the editor works with no connection at all.

The one thing that does need the internet is restoring a purchase. Everything else keeps working on a plane.

What does the free tier actually limit?

Free exports carry a Shotpop watermark, and exports may be subject to a daily cap that we can adjust. The free tier also shows ads — banner, native and interstitial — plus an optional rewarded video you can choose to watch to drop the watermark from an export. Some templates and some device frames are Pro-only.

Everything else — the editor, the meshes, the annotation tools, redaction — is available on the free tier.

Is it a subscription, or can I buy it once?

Both. Pro is $4.99 per month or $24.99 per year if you prefer a subscription, and $49.99 as a one-time lifetime purchase if you don't. Subscriptions renew through your Apple Account until you cancel; the lifetime option never renews.

Do I need an account?

No. There's no sign-up, no login and no email address collected. Purchases are tied to your Apple Account, so restoring Pro on a new phone doesn't require one from us either.

Does it run on iPad?

Shotpop is an iPhone app, designed portrait-first, and it needs iOS 18 or later. We deliberately didn't ship a half-tuned iPad layout — an iPad version deserves its own design pass rather than a stretched phone screen.

What permissions does it ask for?

Photos access is add-only, and only so exports can be saved to your library. Importing a screenshot uses the system photo picker, which runs outside the app and needs no library access at all.

On the free tier you'll also see Apple's App Tracking Transparency prompt. Say no and the ads stay — they're just not personalised.

When does it launch?

Shotpop is targeting the App Store in September 2026, for iPhone on iOS 18 and later. Questions before then go to hello@shotpop.app.
