macOS Markup gives you shapes and text, but no real way to add ordered step markers — you'd have to draw a circle and type a number into each one, then keep them consistent by hand. macshot has a dedicated number tool that does it for you.
Pick the number tool and click on the part of the image each step refers to. The first click is 1, the next is 2, and so on — no typing, no manual sequencing. Delete or undo a marker and the rest renumber so the order stays right.
Numbered markers are the fastest way to turn a screenshot into instructions — onboarding docs, bug reports, tutorials, and how-tos. Combine them with arrows, text, and highlights, then copy or save the finished image.
