Reticle

A simple screenshotting tool for Apple Silicon

I've installed Lightshot Screenshot on every personal and work computer I've owned for over a decade. Unfortunately, it seems to have been abandoned as a project, and will cease to work at some point with Apple Silicon computers. This is a little project to create my own version of it that will work on Macs going forward.
