ShareX doesn't zoom
ShareX doesn't run on Mac. Here's what replaces it.
ShareX is a Windows-only Swiss army knife: screenshots, GIFs, OCR, file uploads, URL shortening, and more. The macOS port doesn't exist. You have to split the workflow across two tools instead of one.
CleanShot X covers screenshot capture, annotation, and OCR. ShipClip covers screen recording with zoom-to-click, multi-track audio, timeline editing, and a share link. Between them, you've got the ShareX stack on Mac.
