This is pretty cool. One of my best productivity hacks was modifying my apple settings to make screenshotting shortcuts easier. Apple>Preferences>Keyboard>Shortcuts Change all of the 3 button shortcuts to 2 button shortcuts. 4x productivity increase in screenshot sharing.

Testing this out at the moment. I use Apple's built in screenshot tool constantly throughout the day and got quite use to it, didn't feel like it lacked anything. Lets see how this will change my opinion. Annnnnnnd its behind a paywall... Maybe offer a demo?  See more

Quite misleading to have a "download" button with no prices shown and then give the user a $9.99 paywall afterwards. Otherwise seems like a nice product.
Ohad Aviv@ohadaviv · Co founder & CEO @Muzli
@peedutuisk And a "close" button that actually doesn't close the modal but expands it even more... cool product tho. no need for those tactics.
Joost Schuur@joostschuur · Product manager, Playmob
@peedutuisk Yeah, I did the same, saw the order form, and closed the web site tab without any further look.
Josh Cohen@jshchnz · Co-Founder, ThnkDev
@peedutuisk Sorry that you thought it was misleading, we absolutely never intended that! We love Product Hunt and want you guys to love the app too! For ProductHunt only we're giving you guys 90% off with the offer code "PH" on our site, keep giving us your feedback we love it!
Josh Cohen@jshchnz · Co-Founder, ThnkDev
@ohadaviv @peedutuisk Sorry, this is definitely not supposed to happen, it was a problem with the overlay provided by our payment service. We've already fixed it on the site, and made the overlay appear like it's actually supposed to and the close button work correctly. Thanks so much for noticing that, we appreciate your feedback!
Joost Schuur@joostschuur · Product manager, Playmob
@jshchnz Kudos, Josh. I actually rediscovered Screenie when I saw the Pearl app featured today, thought about how many screenshots I take at work and decided to buy this. Then I looked for a promo code in this thread and found my own dismissive comment. I'm a changed man ;) Just purchased it.
Josh Cohen@jshchnz · Co-Founder, ThnkDev
@joostschuur Really appreciate this! Glad you've seen the light 😇 let us know if there's anything we can do to make Screenie even better!

I was about to ask "Why are you different from Quickshot?", then I realized you are the same people :D So, my question is: I already bought quickshot, why should I upgrade (and pay another 10 bucks) for Screenie?
Steven Rueter@rueter · Developer
@pieroborgo Touché
Josh Cohen@jshchnz · Co-Founder, ThnkDev
@pieroborgo No worries! Anyone who bought QuickShot gets Screenie 100% free. Just shoot me an email to j@thnkdev.com :)
Piero Borgo@pieroborgo · CCO & Co-Founder, Leevia
@jshchnz @thnkdev sweet! Just sent you an email 😎
Damian Rees@damianrees · Director, Experience UX
Nice simple idea, but is there really value here at $9.99? I'm not sure that pricing model is right when with a couple of extra clicks I can do the same for free
Big fan of trickster that can do this and more: http://www.apparentsoft.com/tric...

@zee boy, this is a very ugly piece of software

@jshchnz great app. you should mention the discount in the description OR have this comment pinned

When your call to action button on the landing page shows "download", people intuitively regard it as a free download that they can have a free tools. But when he/she click the button and find out that it is a tool for $9.99 (which nonobviously shown on the top right), most people will close the popup and leave. Not because your product is bad (actually it's… See more
Josh@joshanatalio · Student at UCSD
Awesome! The fastest way to get screenshots into iMessage/Messenger😌
Patrick Thompson@neurohacked
@joshanatalio ⌃⇧⌘+3 or ⌃⇧⌘+4 = Screenshot and directly to clipboard for pasting by default on OS X.
Simon Bromberg@shimmb · iOS Engineer @LifeBEAM, sbromberg.com
You can paste screenshots directly into a lot of programs. Maybe people don't realize the many screenshot - keyboard shortcuts and modifiers that MacOS has? For example, ⌘ + shift + 4 gets you a cursor you can drag and save a screenshot that saves to your desktop. If you add the control key to that it copies the screenshot, and then you can paste it into ap… See more
Arun Pattnaik@arunpattnaik · UX'er for web startups, maker of things.
@shimmb Macbook user for 6 years, didn't have a clue. Thank you!
Patrick Thompson@neurohacked
@shimmb Yeah, I was trying to understand what the advantage of this app is and why it is being upvoted so much; Especially at a cost of $9.99 and the fact that I can do almost anything this can do using the built-in features of the OS... You can also change where screenshots are saved and the file format using some Terminal commands. I still don't see what… See more
Tom Kennedy@tkennedysa · Founder & CEO, 8Bit
@shimmb I had no clue about the spacebar and ctrl options. Great tip, thanks!
Chase@billchase2 · Enabling Technologies Informationist
My thoughts, as well. Though, this does give you easy access through the menubar, which is nice!
Pete@peet818 · Freelance Social Media Manager
@shimmb Agree, the Mac's keyboard shortcut for screenshots is much easier to use.
Girl Bosses@girlbossesau · GIRL BOSS
@shimmb you just blew my mind! Just like Arun, Mac user (however novice) for many years and never knew the added 'control' aspect of screen shots.
Elie Hirschfeld@eliehirschfeld · Real Estate Developer, Hirschfeld LLC
Great product!
Jonathan Z. White@jonathanzwhite · Designer and full-stack developer
This seems like it could improve workflow and I appreciate your discount for Product Hunters. That being said, a price point of $9.99 seems hefty. How did you reach you reach this price point?
Huge Skitch fan myself (use it dozens of times a day). Can't see any advantages to this missing in Skitch (which is free too...)
Ryan Minnick@ryanminnick · Platform and other things @ taxadmin.org
It seems many of these apps are all missing one feature or another that would make them perfect - I like Droplr for annotations (faster to get to annotation and share than Skitch), but I can't use my own storage or a service like s3 for my files. I like Infinit, but they don't offer a built-in annotator. I like Skitch, but it's a pretty big clunky app for … See more
Dillon Nichols@dillon1337
I always forget the keyboard shortcut to take a screenshot on the mac. It would be nice if clicking the icon would also give the option to take a screenshot (unless it already does this, haven't tried yet)
Noah@sond813 · Co-Founder, ThnkDev
@dillon1337 We're looking into the best way to add this, it will be coming soon!
Pranay Sanghavi@pranaysanghavi · TelecomBazaar
I just purchased the tool. But does not it allow me to send screenshots taken into clipboard ? It supports only those screenshots that are taken as a file? If not, pretty useless.
Alex Carvalho@alexcarvalhous · VPD and Marketing Director
Great! I was looking for a solution for my screenshots last week... I used the PH coupon code at the checkout and I was able to buy it for $1. Can't go wrong with this app! Thank you Product Hunt and ThinkDev!

Ahhh, this will seriously save me like 3 steps, multiple times in my day. Love it.
