Python REPL
Turn Python REPL snippets into images worth sharing, without leaving your Mac.
A REPL transcript is a conversation, and the prompts are what make it one. Pasting it as text usually loses them or breaks the alignment.
Codeshot detects Python REPL from the code you paste, so there is no language picker to get wrong. Here is the same snippet in three of the 30 themes it ships with, rendered with the app's own stylesheets.
>>> from snapshot import render
>>> img = render("print('hi')", theme="xcode")
>>> img.size
(1600, 900)
>>> img.save("out.png", scale=2)
'out.png'>>> from snapshot import render
>>> img = render("print('hi')", theme="xcode")
>>> img.size
(1600, 900)
>>> img.save("out.png", scale=2)
'out.png'>>> from snapshot import render
>>> img = render("print('hi')", theme="xcode")
>>> img.size
(1600, 900)
>>> img.save("out.png", scale=2)
'out.png'Keep the triple-chevron prompts and the output together. A transcript without its results is just code, and worse code than you would have written deliberately.
Let the image follow your content, or lock it to a ratio — 1:1, 4:3, 3:2, 16:9, 9:16, 2:3, or 3:4 — then export at 1×, 2×, or 3× so it stays sharp on a retina display. Copy it straight to the clipboard with ⌘⇧C, or save with ⌘S.

Everything runs on your Mac. Your code never leaves it.
