Ctrl+Q — that's it
They want your email. They want a subscription. They want to upload your screen to their cloud. For a screenshot.
We made something that just works.
Ctrl+Q. Fullscreen overlay drops. Your cursor becomes a crosshair. No menus. No windows. Just the screen.
Click. Drag. Release. Pixel-precise region capture. The entire interaction takes under a second.
On your clipboard. Floating preview on screen. Paste it wherever. Pin it. Annotate it. Or just move on.

Quick Gen
That's it. That's the whole product.
Every capture lands on your clipboard instantly. PNG, JPG, WebP, or base64 Data URI — pick your format, paste anywhere.
Screenshots appear as always-on-top cards. Pin them, stack them, drag them around, resize them. They survive restarts too.
Arrows, shapes, text, freehand drawing, numbered callouts, and a redaction tool for sensitive info. Six colors, three stroke widths, full undo. All keyboard-shortcut driven.
Ctrl+Shift+Q. Select any region. Toggle mic input, pick your audio device. Export as MP4 or WebM. Bug reports in 10 seconds.
Works seamlessly across multiple displays. The overlay appears on whichever screen your cursor is on. No extra setup.
Rebind capture and recording hotkeys to whatever works for your workflow. Your shortcuts, your rules.
Every capture saved to a folder of your choice with organized timestamps. Or clipboard-only. Your call.
Lives quietly in your tray. No window to manage. No dock icon to ignore. Invisible until you need it.
Checks for updates in the background. One-click install when a new version drops. Or it updates silently on quit.
See exact pixel dimensions of your selection in real-time as you drag. Precision when you need it.
Pinned previews persist across app restarts. Close the app, reboot, your pinned captures are still there.
Under 100 MB installed. Vanilla JS under the hood — no framework bloat. Starts with your system and stays out of your way.
Every annotation tool has a single-key shortcut. No toolbar hunting, no right-click menus. Just press and go.
