Everything You Need to Capture, Annotate, and Share
Built for developers, designers, and support teams who take screenshots every day. No bloat, no Electron wrapper, no compromises.
Four fast ways to grab your screen
Every capture mode is one hotkey away. Multi-monitor and high-DPI displays work out of the box.
Region Capture
Select any rectangular area of your screen. Pixel-precise crosshair with magnifier. Press Ctrl+Alt+5 and drag.
Fullscreen Capture
Grab the entire screen of any connected monitor with a single keystroke. Press Ctrl+Alt+6 to capture instantly.
Auto-Upload
Capture and upload in one action. Press Ctrl+Alt+7 to capture a region, upload it, and produce an instant shareable link on your clipboard — no save dialog, no manual upload step.
Scrolling Capture
Press Ctrl+Alt+8, select a vertically scrolling browser or application pane, then scroll manually or let automatic mode advance it. The shortcut is fully configurable.

Export a screenshot your AI coding assistant can actually read
Capture a bug, dialog, or design and export a one-click AI-optimized copy — right-sized so Claude Code, Codex CLI, or Gemini CLI reads it clearly without burning tokens on 4K pixels the model only downsamples.
| Export | What it's for | Detail |
|---|---|---|
| AI-optimized image | Pasting a screenshot into an AI coding CLI | 1600 px max width, configurable |
| AI-optimized MP4 | Sharing a screen recording with AI tools | ~1280 px, 24 fps, mono |
| Blur before export | Redacting secrets before the model sees them | Destructive, unrecoverable from the file |
