    It's a fantastic tool for anything related to your screen. Screenshots (with custom editions), screen recording (for gifs or videos), file uploading, OCR, color picker, custom tasks and keybinds to do anything you want with all the available tools... Simply beautiful

    You don't have defaults quick actions like in Greenshot (save, print, edit) right after the screenshot is done. You can customize it but by default screenshot function is set to Ctrl + PrintScreen instead of PrintScreen.
