Most screenshot tools I tried felt either too heavy, too outdated, too noisy, or too focused on advanced workflows I didn’t need every day. AuroShot is different because it focuses on a clean everyday screenshot flow: - fast capture modes for screen, window, or selected area; - 10+ useful annotation tools; - automatic copy to clipboard and local saving; - a floating capture panel designed not to steal focus from work or games; - local-first privacy: screenshots stay on the user’s device;
Love how lightweight this feels compared to the bloated tools I've bounced between. One thing that would make it stick for me: a quick "copy as text" option for screenshots, since a lot of my captures are just stuff I need to paste into messages or docs without fussing with OCR separately.
@zgriqv9 thanks a lot for your feedback and a suggestion, will look into that possibility 🙏
Tried it for a quick capture earlier and the floating panel thing is honestly the best part, didn't lose focus from what I was working on. Auto clipboard copy saves me a step too.
@habibepeksen Thanks a lot for trying and feedback! If you will have additionl feedback don't hesitate to write, I will make an update on a weekend based on feedbacks
The floating capture panel is genuinely nice to use, especially not having it steal focus while gaming. Auto-copy to clipboard is the kind of default I wish every screenshot tool just had.
@vedat2070061 thanks a lot for trying out my app, happy you liked that feature. If you will have any additional feedback feel free to write, I am planning an update on weekend
Genuinely like how minimal this feels, the floating panel not stealing focus is honestly a lifesaver. One thing though, an OCR feature to pull text out of screenshots would be huge, basically just right click and grab the text instead of retyping it from images. Would round it out really nicely.
@gerzenoglu11692 thanks a lot for trying out my app and writing feedback, I will look into it!
The difference from other screenshot tools is in the UX details:
- doesn’t minimize the active window - doesn’t add a capture animation or sound
- shows quick actions after each screenshot
- makes the save location visible so you don’t have to remember where the file went
- have a universal number of annotation tools;
- hopefully, interesting visually 💜
the floating capture panel is a really thoughtful touch - the fact that it stays out of the way during work or games shows you actually thought about the user’s flow, not just the feature list.
@sedatvw1m thanks a lot for noticing and nice comment! the screen taking also does not produce effects, screen clickering and sound, that also helps not to disrupt processes
