Lightshot Screenshot

Honestly, as stupid as it may be, it saves me soooo much time every day.

It's a little software (or an app if you're on Mac) that's 10 times better than the snipping tool or the finger breaking shortcut Macs have.

I use it on both PC and Mac, and it's pretty much the same on both.

How does it save you time though?

I use the default snip tool on windows 10.

Works well enough.

I'm a little bit of a Tard though soooo.

It allows you to add all sorts of arrows, marks, and text on the snip itself without making you want to kill yourself. It's one less thing to worry about when I switch from my PC to Mac because it works the same way in both.

Yeah makes sense.

I just draw my arrows poorly.

Might need to get it tbh.

Greenshot was pretty good as well, for auto upload screenshots to imgur

It probably doesn't break as often as the snipping tool does.

I don't know why, but I've been having issues with the built-in snipping tool lately on both my desktop and laptop. It's like it takes the screenshot, but it doesn't display the pop-up it's supposed to.

it's opensource and it's lightweight
It's super customizable
for example
after a screenshot, you can have it automatically do the following as well


That does include uploading to IMGBB and generating you a link automatically.
saves a quite a few seconds but it all adds up really
It even has video too

do you use the shortcut Win+Shift+S to take the screenshot with snipping?
Check Windows notifications settings, you probably turned it off by accident.
Sometimes windows is dumb like that
