We have some exciting news for our Skitch for Mac users today. The latest update (2.0.2) includes a Skitch Menu Bar Helper which lets you take screenshots and use keyboard shortcuts even when Skitch isn’t running.

Get Skitch for Mac from the App Store »

There are two ways to use Skitch from the menu bar. You can either click on the heart icon and choose the option you want, or you can simply use one of the keyboard shortcuts to take a screenshot of the entire screen, or just a portion of it.

In addition to the Menu Bar Helper, we also added some nice text editing improvements and made the app more reliable.

Availability

This update is currently available as a direct download from our site. If you downloaded Skitch from the Mac App Store, then your update should be available very soon. If you would prefer not to wait, then drag Skitch from the applications folder into your trash, and download the app from our site.

Nice! Some of the features I have been waiting for.
- Brian Rayner
  
  Oh yay! They finally put back a feature that never should have been removed in the first place! Funny how it’s being announced like it’s something exciting and new.

How to change font in a text box? Why not bring back the palette on the side as in the previous version? I want a quick-and-dirty app that takes up minimal desktop space.

Now it’s late. I migrated to Monosnap. Sorry!
- W Meyers
  
  Good suggestion. I migrated too. No direct link sharing to images means our team no longer uses Skitch. Too bad, it was a really great tool…
  - D Werner
    
    We’re out as well – with no direct link sharing this becomes no more useful than a basic screen grab that’s already native to Mac.
- Jolomero
  
  Thanks for this tip. Will be using Monosnap instead.

My wish is to be able to draw a box, oval, etc. then be able to rotate it. If there is a way to do that I have not been able to find it. My version is 1.0.12 on Snow Leopard.
