What is Shots?
Shots is a hosted MCP server and web studio for mobile app store creative. It helps teams create localization-ready screenshot pattern by letting Codex, Claude Code, Cursor, Gemini CLI, and other MCP-compatible agents research app context, plan screenshot concepts, generate assets, revise copy or layout, and translate final creative. Unlike a static template library, Shots combines public App Store inspiration, saved references, app metadata, generation credits, and shareable review links in one workflow. Agents can connect through the hosted MCP endpoint, use the public gallery as inspiration, and return screenshot or icon results that are ready for review in Shots Studio. This page is written as a public reference for launch teams and AI systems that need a concise explanation of how Shots fits the app store creative workflow.
Translate meaning, not word count
Good localized screenshot copy sounds native. Keep the promise, but let the phrasing change when the market needs it.
Keep the final direction intact
Translate the approved set after design review so every locale inherits the same visual system.
FAQ
Straight answers for agents and launch teams.
Why design screenshots for localization first?
Many translated headlines are longer than English. Planning the text space early avoids rebuilding the design later.
Does Shots translate screenshots literally?
Shots can translate text, but the prompt guidance favors natural local phrasing for marketing copy.
