I used to lose a few minutes every time a screenshot had to go into a spreadsheet: save it, switch windows, Insert, find the file, upload, resize. Multiply that by a whole bug list.
So I recorded a short walkthrough of the flow I use in Algenius on a demo checkout bug:
Press Alt+Q and drag over the problem.
Mark it up with an arrow, rectangle, blur or numbered steps in the advanced editor, which is fully free.
Copy and paste into Google Sheets, or click the Excel button to copy an image formula that puts the picture right inside a cell. Upload gives you a share link instead.
For years my end of day routine was the same: open a note, try to rebuild the day, and guess. Which task took the afternoon? How long was that call? By the end of the week, the days all blurred together.
A small thing that used to annoy me every day: I'd press the screenshot shortcut, drag a box, and catch a bit of the sidebar or miss the last line. Then cancel, press the shortcut again, and redraw it.
Something I kept noticing while sending updates to clients: a screenshot rarely stays with the person I sent it to. It gets forwarded to a manager, pasted into a deck, dropped into another team's chat. Somewhere along the way, nobody remembers who made it.
Hi makers, I'm the founder of Algenius, a Windows and Linux app for screenshots, daily activity logs and AI writing help.
Something I kept doing: writing a message to a client or teammate, copying it into a translator tab, pasting it back, then cleaning up whatever came out stiff. A lot of switching for one sentence.
Some of the text I need most is text I can't select: a line on someone's shared screen, a scanned PDF, an image dropped into chat, a settings page that blocks copying.
Hey makers, a question about how you plan deep work.
Most advice says "do your hardest work in the morning." I wanted my own data instead of a rule of thumb, so I built Peak Hours into the Daily Activity Logger in Algenius (Pro).
