Description

Zight is the world's leading visual communication platform that helps people everywhere communicate better asynchronously with a unified application to create, annotate and share screenshots, videos, screen recordings, GIFs, and more. Drag a file to Zight or use our hotkey shortcuts to capture a screenshot, GIF, or HD screen-recording. A link to the file will automatically be copied to your clipboard that you can paste to Slack, Twitter, IM, email, or smoke signals. "So simple that you use it without realizing it's there." — Tim Van Damme (Dropbox) “Zight streamlines our sharing and communication. I no longer waste time trying to explain complex workflows or edits to be made or get mired in file attachments. Instead I just constantly use Zight to capture, comment, and share via a handy link. Zight is indispensable to the efficiency of our business, and they’re fantastic to work with.” — Daniel Odio (FounderCulture) "Zight is extremely useful, beautiful, and so very simple. Exactly what you want in a utility." — Mark Jardine (Tapbots) "Zight is file sharing the way it should be: simple and powerful with a handy keyboard shortcut integration that my fingers tend to stay glued to, all bundled into an elegant UI." — Brian Hoff (The Design Cubicle) “Few apps come across my path that becomes instantly integrated into my workflow. Zight is one of them. I honestly can't imagine using my computer without it. It's critical to the way I work.” — Mike Gowen (Delighted) Features: • Simple and easy interface that streamlines your sharing flow • Drag and drop any file, link, screenshot, screen recording, image, code-snippets, URL, or video to get an automatically generated URL link copied to your clipboard, ready to be shared. • Visual search to find what you’re looking for • Share screenshots and screen-recordings using customized hotkey shortcuts for superior visual collaboration • GIF and HD screen-recording with audio commenting (for HD) to clearly demonstrate complex workflows • Record a webcam video message for faster and more animated communication • Add annotations for visual feedback or emphasis • Get the global history of your drops along with the view count and open-tracking • Add a password to increase your drop’s privacy and security • Use auto-destruction to set your drops to delete on a timed fuse and control your asset’s longevity • Use a Custom Domain (eg. shorturl.co/XXXX) and your branding to make Zight an extension of you or your business • Share assets using links (built-in URL shortening!) • Re-copy a link, delete or rename an asset from the menu-bar • iOS app for Zight on the go

    I've had this bug for almost a year. Zight crashes when I try to record a video. I contacted support and they were unable to help. I have removed and re-downloaded the program multiple times on my Mac.
  • Just stops in the middle of my recordings and deletes the entire thing

  • Never stays active

    So much work to keep this thing active and logged in on my computer. NEVER auto-starts despite me selecting that preference. And it asks me to re-login what feels like almost daily. Not a banking up laides and gents...just stuff I want to SHARE
  • Works most of the time

    Over the couple years I've used CloudApp it works great most of the time then something throws it off and quirky things happen for a few weeks. Eventually, they come out with an update and all works well again. Seems to be pretty stable at the moment. (Oct 2023) Would like to see the ability to move my picture where ever on the screen when filming screen recordings. On a large screen monitor its pretty useless with me down in the corner as a miniscule talking head. Overall, its a good product.
  • EXCELLENT DAILY TOOL

    I use the cloud app almost daily to send files to businesses and individuals, from images to screen recordings, and other files. The only complaint I have with the tool is I would like it to interact better with my Krisp recording application, and also to not log me out everytime I restart my Mac.
  • Works great, but signs out

    Works great, but app stops working on my Mac, requiring me to sign in again and again.
  • How did this app get even worse?

    [update] The change from CloudApp to Zight was not a change in name only. App features were also entirely removed in the rebranding. And users beware: Zight updates this app without user permission or interaction! [origial review] I was thrilled some time back to find this app in the app store vs having to direct download. Sadly, there often seems to be some problem with CloudApp. For awhile now the biggest issue is that even though I leave this app always running, it's never there when I need it. It's silently failed & disappeared. So I restart it. And very often I also have to re-login. And fairly frequently I have to re-set all my user preferences. It's a lot of work for a "helper" app. I can recommend it when it's working. But as I said, there's almost always some issue.
  • Was awesome... now buggy

    CloudApp was an amazing tool. In the last few years, it has become increasingly buggy. For 6 months, our video screencasts would fail to upload (this happened to our entire company, who are all working remote, not using a VPN, on different Internet connections and different devices with NO corporate software nor corporate firewalls). It took us 6 months to get their attention to actually do anything about it. After the recent changeover to "Zight", now the screen recording buttons appear in the top blacked out notch on my MAC Pro (where the camera is) and I can't access the pause nor finish button after completing a full screen screencast on my laptop screen. It's just unfortunately not nearly as reliable as it once was, which is a bummer since our entire company has enjoyed the tool for years! We could never find anything like it, but the team has now complained so much (justifiably) about it's frequent bugs that we are searching for an alternative.

    This is one of the few apps I use on a daily basic. Very helpful for capturing images and video. Easy to use. I've used similar apps and found this one to be the best option.
