SimplyShot started with a question: how far could I get building a real Mac app with AI?

I wanted a challenge, but I also wanted to build something I’d actually use. A screenshot app was the first idea that came to mind.

I’d get one feature working and immediately think of something else to add. Scrolling capture, text recognition, redaction, backgrounds, capture history…

That’s how SimplyShot ended up with a Studio editor. What started as a screenshot experiment grew into screen recording with audio and a camera overlay, followed by editing tools for zooms, cuts, backgrounds, and captions.
