Switch without breaking your workflow
Install Maxisnap alongside Monosnap, match the shortcuts you actually use, and keep both apps available until you have tested capture, annotation, recording, and upload on your normal monitors. The migration guide covers that process. No uninstall is required to evaluate the workflow.
