  • I think the main thing I like is that it fits so seamlessly within my workflow. I can customize the functions I use to happen the way I want them to.

    It has the same functions as the default app:

    • ability to take screenshots of all or part of a screen (with/without timer)
    • ability to take a screen recording of all or part of a screen (with/without a timer)

    But it also provides options for:

    • adding simple markup to your screenshot (lines/arrows/text/squares etc). As a developer, I often want to take a screenshot and add a bit of text or an arrow to highlight something to someone I’m trying to explain something to
    • ability to do scrolling screen captures
    • recording in MP4
    • trimming screen recording videos
    • removing or including audio in screen recording videos
    • recording animated GIFs instead of video
    • reducing resolution (for filesize) after capture
    • hide desktop icons during screen capture
    • change/hide desktop background wallpaper during capture
    • options to customize shortcut keys for various operations, or customize workflow (for example I like screenshots to be automatically added to my clipboard after capture or markup so I can immediately paste in whatever chat I’m having with colleagues)
    • options for keeping a history of screenshots/recordings
    • options (I don’t use) for cloud share/storage
