About this app

Intro
Some of the messaging apps detect screenshots you made from conversations. They notify person, you're chatting with, about the fact that you save a screenshot. Now you can save screenshots absolutely confidential.

Note
This app doesn't work with protected apps, like Netflix, Chrome incognito, Tor Browser, private Telegram chat, banking apps, etc. You will get black screen or just an error.

How it ensures privacy?
All files are saved into hidden directory. The app doesn't broadcast any message about new screenshot. Any other app can't access screenshots directly. Only you can browse them, share or delete.

How it works?
The app launches 'presentation' mode on your device and captures the whole screen's content. It displays draggable button which saves the current picture from screen into a file.

How to use?
● Press START button
● Grant permissions to allow capturing content of display
● Press screenshot button in order to make screenshot
● Press and hold screenshot button in order to return back to app
● Press STOP button in order to exit from 'presentation' mode

Advanced
● Android 7 and higher: you can put a shortcut into the Quick Settings drawer
● Android 7.1 and higher: hold app's icon to reveal shortcut for quick Start/Stop

Very good app. It does exactly what it is designed to do. Highly recommended. Someone rated it lowly because the app said it was going to be recording everything on your screen. That's true but that's the way it works. It has to stay on-screen and in the background in order to do the screen capture. Once you have finished your screen shots, you have to disable it and then it will no longer record anything on your screen. You need to understand how to use it before you comment. Sorry, not rude.

Love the app, does its job perfectly. The only thing I'd suggest to add is the screenshot automatically saving to your gallery instead of just appearing on the main page of the app. It's not a big deal, as I can just screenshot the picture I want saving from the app, but it would make it a bit more convenient.

It's brilliant! Does the job perfectly. Just one feature request - it should have multi touch support. So for example if I'm on Instagram viewing someone's story and holding down on it with one finger to pause it, I then should be able to press the screenshot icon with another finger and it should work.

Hello. We've solved this issue. You can turn on new feature 'Shake to shot' in Settings. Then when you hold down the finger you can just shake your phone to save a screenshot. Enjoy ;)

What’s new

- Add an ability to blur/unblur thumbnail
- Resolved an error that caused the dialog about notification permissions request to be shown twice
