The short answer
Is there a Shottr for Windows?
Shottr is Mac only. Cropped takes pixel-exact screenshots and marks them up on Mac, Windows and Linux, and adds screen recording, a video editor and image shrinking. Shottr is free to use and has OCR, so for screenshots alone on a Mac it’s hard to beat.

Does Cropped work on Linux?
Cropped runs on Mac (Apple Silicon and Intel, macOS 14 or later), 64-bit Windows 11 and Ubuntu 24.04 or later with GNOME (Linux is in Beta). One license covers all three. A few things are Mac only for now, like the camera bubble, Webpage only and Smooth Scroll. See every difference.
