How to get the CleanShot X Black Friday discount

  1. Check cleanshot.com in late November
  2. Compare the direct discount with any Mac app bundle that includes CleanShot X
  3. Buy the single license if you only need CleanShot X

What is CleanShot X?

CleanShot X is a paid screenshot and screen recording tool for macOS, and it is worth buying on sale if you take screenshots for work every day. The regular price is already low: $29 one time for one Mac with one year of updates. After that year the app keeps working; you simply stop getting new versions unless you pay again.

In Black Friday 2025 the direct discount was about 30% on the single license. The bigger saving came through a 12-app Mac Essentials bundle that included CleanShot X and sold for $76, about 77% off the combined list price. That bundle ended on 8 December 2025.

Is the sale worth waiting for?

Only if you also want the other apps in a bundle. A 30% cut on a $29 license saves less than ten dollars, so if your current screenshot workflow is slowing you down, buying now costs little. Outside Black Friday, third-party deal sites sometimes list small discounts, such as 10% off, but those are not seasonal offers.

Who should skip it

Windows and Linux users, obviously, since it is Mac only. People who grab a screenshot once a week will be fine with the free macOS tool (Shift-Command-5), which already records the screen and saves captures. CleanShot X makes sense for writers, support teams, designers and developers who annotate, blur and share captures many times a day.
