People tend to give up on taking screenshots of their desktops since the processes can get complicated. It’s not like the smartphone where you press some buttons & your work is done. Desktop screenshots require a little more work. CleanShot brings the tools for doing so close to a person’s fingertips, & adds a little more finesse to the process.
The quick access overlay on this platform features simple ways to take a still of what is currently on the screen. One can copy & save images in the file format that they desire. The drag & drop feature also makes the tool easy to operate. What’s more, users can select a particular location on their desktops to store all their screenshots as well as share them on various other platforms such as social media.
What sets CleanShot apart from other similar tools is that when a particular screenshot is being taken the app will ignore regular desktop icons & go about to record what is important. To make the whole process faster users can designate hotkeys as well as keyboard shortcuts to perform specific functions.
If at all a user feels that a screenshot requires something more to look better then he can benefit from the ability to set a wallpaper. This could be an image of choice or even just a plain color background to make the image pop.
Perhaps most impressive is the ability to record a video of the screen. The possible uses for this are numerous from recording YouTube videos to logging work for programmers, designers & much more.
Though the creators of the platform have incorporated a straightforward user interface, they realize that some people will have a hard time using the tool without instruction. For that reason, they have added a manual to their website so that users can learn the ropes before putting the app to use.
Windows users will have to wait for an app just like this for them as currently, it is only available to macOS users. Users have to pay a one-off price to enjoy the app’s services.
