Private beta · invite only

Capture what matters.

A screenshot tool for Windows 11 that stays out of the way. Press a shortcut, drag, release. Your capture is ready to copy, save, annotate, or drag straight into whatever you're writing.

Request an invite See how it works

Press CtrlShiftA anywhere. Windows 11 · x64 · free during the beta.

Watch the capture finish the moment the mouse comes up.
How it works

Every capture takes the same three steps.

01

Press a shortcut

Ctrl+Shift+A grabs an area. The tray menu and the palette cover windows, displays, and scrolling pages.

02

Pick what you want

Drag a region, click a window, or take the whole display. What you select is what you get, down to the physical pixel.

03

Act on it

Copy it, save it, annotate it, or drag it into a chat. The card sits in the corner until you decide.

Features

What the beta ships with.

The capture ends when you let go

Every monitor freezes the moment you press the shortcut, so nothing moves while you aim. Drag the region you want and release. There is no confirm button to hunt for, and mixed DPI and HDR displays are handled the same way as everything else.

  • Live pixel dimensions while you drag
  • Enter confirms keyboard selections, Esc cancels
  • Frozen frames on every monitor, mixed DPI included

Pages taller than your screen

Pick a region at the top of the page and scroll it yourself. The stitched result builds in a live preview as you go, so you can see what you have. Scroll too far and it recovers on its own. Long captures get tiled to disk instead of eating memory.

  • You control the scroll; no fragile auto-scroll
  • Live stitched preview with overshoot recovery
  • Disk-backed tiling keeps long captures light

Your captures wait for you

Every capture lands as a card in the corner and stays there until you act on it. Copy it, save it, pin it, or open it in the editor. Close the editor and the card goes back where it was, in the same spot in the stack.

  • Cards only leave on Copy, Save, or Close
  • Pin a card and it survives Copy or Save
  • Drag a thumbnail straight into chats and docs

Keep one on top of everything

Float a capture onto the desktop and it stays above every window you switch to. Good for copying figures out of one app and into another, or working through steps from a screenshot without flipping back and forth. Lock it and your clicks pass straight through to whatever is underneath.

  • Stays above every other window, in any app
  • Lock it and clicks go through to what's below
  • Nudge it with arrow keys, zoom or fade it with the wheel
  • Close it and the capture goes back to the stack

Annotate before you send

Crop it down, point an arrow at the thing you are talking about, number the steps someone needs to follow, and blur the password field before the screenshot leaves your machine.

  • Crop, shapes, text, highlights, numbered steps
  • Blur and pixelate sensitive regions
  • Undo history and one-key Copy

Pull the text back out

Capture text instead of pixels and it arrives on your clipboard as text. Useful for error dialogs that will not let you select anything, screenshots other people send you, and anything else stuck inside an image. It runs on your machine, using the languages Windows already has installed.

  • Capture Text goes straight to the clipboard
  • Extract a whole image or one region from the editor
  • Runs offline, on your installed Windows languages

Lives in the tray

Every capture mode is one right-click away on the tray icon. Nothing sits on your taskbar.

Copy, save, or drag

Straight to the clipboard, out to a file, or dragged from the card into any app that takes an image.

Sharp at every scale

Physical-pixel capture across mixed DPI monitors, from 100% through 200% scaling, HDR included.

Light and dark, natively

Follows your Windows theme, from the palette through to the editor canvas.

FAQ

Things people ask.

What is Capture Scope for?
Taking the screenshot is the easy part. Capture Scope is built around everything after it: pages taller than your screen, captures that sit in the corner until you deal with them, one pinned on top while you work from it, text pulled back out of an image, and an editor for the moment before you send it.
Is Capture Scope free?
Free for the whole beta, with no card and no trial clock. It will be a paid app afterwards, and we would rather tell you that now than surprise you later. Beta testers hear the price before anyone else.
What does it run on?
Windows 11 on x64. Nothing else, for now.
How do I get an invite?
Leave your email below. We invite in small batches, so you will either get a key straight away or a note that the current round is full.
Does it record video?
Not yet. Screenshots only for now: area, window, display, and scrolling pages. Video is on the roadmap, though we are not putting a date on it until the screenshot side is finished.
What happens when the beta ends?
Your captures are ordinary files on your own disk, so nothing of yours is locked inside the app. You will get notice well before anything changes.
What about privacy?
Captures never leave your machine, and text extraction runs locally too. Usage analytics and crash reporting are two separate settings, both off unless you turn them on, and neither one can send capture content. The privacy policy has the specifics.
