    I generated a pdf file by accident while browsing Twitter

    Hi everyone, While going through my downloaded files, I found two .pdf files which were essentially screen caps of two complete Twitter threads. But they were not exactly screen caps since they saved not only what was on my screen, but the entire threads. I must've done this by accident...

    Automatic Screen Capture Freaking Me Out!?

    Hey folks! I just discovered a 237GB Quicktime file on my desktop(!) A 49 hour video recording of my screen, which I did not instigate. Not gonna lie...it's kind of freaking me out. Is this just a glitch in the OS, or are less benign forces at work? Thoughts? Suggestions?

    Screen recording different resolution?

    Grab App - a very welcomed change with High Sierra!

    Ok, I'm not sure this change happened in High Sierra or possibly a previous version. I just upgraded from Yosemite to HS and just noticed a change in the Grab App that I was very happy to see! Before I upgraded, when I would do a screen capture with Grab APP, the files would always be captured...

    Screen capture app that automatically names and saves to file

    I'm looking for a screen capture app for macOS that is similar to the free Grab IT utility , but automatically generates a file name ( say "YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS.png") for me. That way I can focus on what I'm doing and not have to stop everything to select a file save location and a unique name for...
