How does it handle external screens?

I don't know the exact use case for this app, so take my feature request with a grain of salt. I implemented something similar for myself which I used for 2-3 years. At first I took a screenshot plainly, but I found that the context was really hard to figure out. I ended up adding a webcam picture to each screenshot, this helped me place where/why I might have been on that specific website. My use case was mostly novelty though. But I still like looking back at the pictures every now and then. You can see my examples (+ script) here: http://www.jontelang.com/blog/2015/08/15/automating-screensh...



The beta period may reveal more challenges, but so far we’ve routinely used it on 5 screen setups, with varying DPIs. Is that the sort of thing you’re asking about?

I love your blogpost/screenshots.


Actually I meant if you have 2 screens connected. Will it screenshot both of them or just one.


Yes indeed. You can capture either: just the current application, just one screen, or "all screens"

Some of the options can be seen in one of the screenshots:
