Better Shot
Free screenshots and screen recording, with annotation.
Better Shot takes screenshots and records the screen, then lets you annotate or edit the video. The developer says it is free, with no account and no watermark, and that it needs macOS 14 or later on Apple silicon or Intel. The site also calls it open source.
