What Screen2Shot does not do
- Scrolling (long-page) screenshots.
- GIF export.
- Cloud upload or share links. Nothing is uploaded.
- Reading QR codes from a camera or paper. Copy Text reads what is on your screen.
- Timeline editing, trimming, captions or webcam in Studio (on the roadmap, not built).
- Intel Macs. Screen2Shot runs on Apple silicon only.
