How do I automate screenshot capture on macOS and Windows?▼

Automating screenshot capture on macOS and Windows uses a CLI script to trigger native OS utilities. It supports full-screen, region selection, and window captures with optional delay and custom output filenames.

Can I capture a specific window or screen region from the command line?▼

Do I need jq installed to take screenshots with this CLI tool?▼

How do I add a delay before a full-screen capture starts?▼

You add a delay before a full-screen capture by specifying an optional delay parameter in your CLI command. This flexible workflow allows time to set up desktop content before the screenshot executes on demand.

What is the best way to script custom filenames for desktop screenshots?▼

The best way to script custom filenames for desktop screenshots is to define an output path parameter when requesting a capture. This enables quick documentation and instant file sharing without manual renaming.
