ScreenShooter

Name: ScreenShooter
Availability: Discontinued
Author: Dariusz Mokwa

ScreenShooter was a screenshot capture tool that let you grab the full screen, active window, or a selected region with keyboard shortcuts. Captured images could be edited with basic annotation tools (arrows, text, shapes) before saving or sharing.

What it did

A keyboard shortcut triggered the capture mode where you selected what to capture - full screen, active window, or a custom rectangle. The built-in editor added arrows, boxes, text labels, and blur effects for redacting sensitive information. Finished screenshots were saved as PNG, JPG, or copied to clipboard.

Quick sharing options uploaded the image to cloud hosting and copied the share link to clipboard. Auto-save organized captures into date-based folders.

Advantages

Quick capture with keyboard shortcuts
Built-in annotation tools
Blur tool for redacting information
Cloud sharing with link generation

Drawbacks

No longer maintained
Windows Snipping Tool does the same thing natively
Limited annotation features compared to alternatives
ShareX (free, open source) or Snipping Tool are better options

Who it was for

ScreenShooter was for users who needed quick screenshots with basic annotations. Windows Snipping Tool (Win+Shift+S) now captures screens with annotation built in. ShareX is the power user choice - free, open source, with extensive annotation, GIF recording, and upload to dozens of hosting services.
