What ButterKit is
ButterKit is a macOS tool for making App Store screenshots. The capture step happens inside Xcode, so you pull screenshots for the interfaces and device sizes you need without jumping between applications. Once captured, images can be framed with 3D effects, which is meant to make a listing look more considered than a row of flat screenshots. Text inside the screenshots can be translated automatically, which matters when the same app ships in several languages. Batch export saves all processed screenshots at once, and theme switching changes the visual treatment. The vendor points at three groups: app developers preparing listings, designers who care about screenshot quality, and marketing staff promoting an app across markets. A free trial is offered, and pricing is not itemised in the source material.
What you can do with it
- Capture screenshots directly from Xcode
- Apply 3D framing to make store images stand out
- Translate text inside screenshots automatically
- Batch export every size and language you need
- Switch themes for different visual treatments
Who it is for
- App developers preparing App Store listings
- Designers responsible for screenshot quality
- Marketing teams localising assets for global markets
What to watch out for
The free trial is limited and pricing is not stated in the source material, so confirm the cost before you plan a release around it. The tool is tied to Xcode, so it is not a general-purpose screenshot editor and it will not help with Android or web listings. Automatic translation should be reviewed by someone who reads the language, since machine-translated store copy reads badly to native speakers. It is also macOS only, which excludes Windows-based members of a mixed team.
