Chat-based screenshot editing
Describe a screenshot change in plain language through Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, or Gemini CLI. The tool applies the change and provides one undo step.
Shotie
Shotie is a Mac app for creating localized App Store and Google Play screenshots from simulator or emulator captures, generated screens, or uploads. It provides chat-based editing, render checks, and one-zip export for store workflows.
App store screenshot creation on Mac
Shotie is a Mac application for creating App Store and Google Play screenshot sets. It can begin with an App Store link, bringing in the app name, icon, and developer, then use screens captured from a simulator or emulator, generated from code through an AI coding tool, or supplied as uploads.
The app combines a gallery and editor with language variants, light and dark appearances, rendering checks, and export. Its library, renders, and exports remain on the Mac; AI access is handled through the user's own Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, or Gemini CLI account, while Shotie performs a periodic license check.
Shotie is suited to release teams and developers preparing localized store listings, product-page tests, or custom pages for different campaigns and audiences. It supports making a copy of a set and requesting text or visual changes so related versions can be prepared without rebuilding every language manually.
Features
Simulator and emulator capture
Capture screens from the iOS Simulator or Android emulator, or upload your own screen for each page.
Localized screenshot sets
Select the languages for a set once, then generate the full set across every App Store language, including right-to-left layout mirroring for Arabic and Persian.
Text-fit and readability checks
Titles are checked against the real render for fit and readability rather than being evaluated only from text measurements.
Platform and appearance variants
Build variants for light and dark appearances and switch a set between iOS and Android workflows.
One-zip export
Package every page and language in one zip for App Store Connect upload.
Use cases
Preparing a new store listing
Start with an App Store link, bring in the app's identifying details, capture current screens, and export a complete localized set for a store listing.
Localizing screenshots for multiple markets
Select the store languages once and let the set follow the language list, including mirrored layouts for right-to-left languages.
Testing product-page treatments
Duplicate an existing set, ask for changes in words, and prepare alternate screenshot treatments for App Store product-page tests or custom pages.
Supporting iOS and Android releases
Create platform-specific assets by switching a set between iOS and Android, then capturing the relevant screens from a simulator or emulator.
Working from supplied artwork
Upload existing screens when a simulator or emulator capture is not the right source, while retaining the editor, checks, and export workflow.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Supports both App Store and Google Play screenshot workflows.
- Can capture from iOS Simulator or Android emulator, while also accepting uploaded screenshots.
- Handles every App Store language in a set, with right-to-left layout mirroring for Arabic and Persian.
- Checks text fit and readability in the rendered screenshot.
- Keeps the project library, renders, and exports on the Mac.
Cons
- Requires macOS 26 or later.

FAQ
Which Macs does Shotie support?
Shotie runs on Macs using macOS 26 or later. Its interface uses Liquid Glass, which is available starting with that macOS version.
Can I use existing screenshots or capture screens directly?
You can upload screenshots for each page, including separate light and dark versions when needed, or capture screens from the iOS Simulator or an Android emulator.
Can Shotie create Google Play screenshots?
Yes. A set can be switched between iOS and Android. Android screens can be captured from an emulator or supplied as uploads.
Which AI tools does Shotie use?
The product uses the AI coding tool already available to you: Claude Code, OpenAI Codex (ChatGPT), or Gemini CLI. These tools run read-only in your project under your own account; capture, inspector editing, checks, and export work without AI.
How are screenshot sets exported?
Exporting creates one zip containing every page in every selected language, ready to upload to App Store Connect.
