Drag a rectangle. Get a link. Paste it anywhere — Slack, PRs, docs, DMs. No sign-up, no subscription, no learning curve. Just a tiny menu-bar app that gets out of your way.
Hit ⌘⇧5 from anywhere and drag across any window, toolbar, or pixel. Giftown snaps cleanly to app edges and remembers your last region, so the second capture is just one keystroke away.
The moment you let go of the mouse, Giftown uploads and copies a short URL for you. Paste it in Slack, an email, a PR — it just works. No login walls, no watermarks, no ads.

Still shot or a few seconds of motion — Giftown picks the right format and squeezes every byte. Small enough for Slack, sharp enough for the design review.
One shortcut from anywhere. Drag across any window or menu on your Mac.
Tap for a still, hold for motion. That's the entire control scheme.
Uploads in the background while you keep working. No spinner, no dialog.
The link is already on your clipboard. Paste it anywhere a URL goes.
No trial, no tier, no credit card. Giftown is a tiny Mac app, and it stays free. Built by two people who got tired of screenshot tools that weren't.
