Screention makes it incredibly fast to capture what’s on your screen.

​
Global Hotkey

The fastest way to take a screenshot is using the global hotkey. This works from anywhere, even if Screention is minimized. Default Hotkey:
PlatformKey Combination
Windows / LinuxCtrl + Alt + A
macOS⌘ + ⌥ + A
Pressing this combination will immediately dim your screen and open the capture overlay. Click and drag to select the area you want to capture.

​
System Tray

You can also trigger a capture from the system tray:
  1. Locate the Screention icon in your system tray (menu bar on Mac).
  2. Click the icon once.
  3. The capture overlay will appear immediately.
Alternatively, you can right-click the tray icon and select Take a Screenshot.

​
Main Window

If you have the main gallery window open:
  1. Click the “New Capture” button in the sidebar.
  2. The window will minimize, and the capture overlay will appear.
