TrontSnap is a fast, keyboard-driven capture tool. Full screen, a freeze-frame region, or a recorded clip, straight to your clipboard and a scrollable history of everything you have ever shot. And unlike most tools, it keeps working over elevated windows.
Built in Rust, resident in the tray, out of your way until you press a key.
One key, whole screen, done.
Freeze-frame, zoom loupe, exact.
H.264 + audio, GPU encoded, GIF export.
A region's words, not pixels. Offline.
Arrows, text, crop, redaction that holds.
18k shots, searchable, one gallery.
Most capture tools go blind the moment an elevated window has focus, because a global keyboard hook is blocked from seeing keystrokes headed for that window, so PrintScreen simply does nothing. TrontSnap registers PrtSc as a system hotkey with RegisterHotKey, the same approach ShareX uses, so it keeps firing over elevated windows, Task Manager, and elevated terminals, all as a plain portable app that never has to run elevated itself.
TrontSnap reads an existing ShareX screenshot folder and merges it into the same timeline as its own captures: a decade of history, one scrolling gallery, nothing to convert, nothing abandoned. Search and OCR work across all of it.
TrontSnap is a portable single exe: no installer, nothing to approve, no reboot. Download it, run it, and it's already in your tray.
Grab trontsnap.exe from the latest release.
It drops into the tray and applies your hotkeys. Nothing to install.
Or left-click the tray icon. That's it, you're capturing.
To uninstall: delete the exe (untick "Start at login" in the tray menu first if you had it on).
TrontSnap takes over the PrtSc key using PrintScreenKeyForSnippingEnabled, a per-user, reversible Windows setting, the same one ShareX uses, so it can grab your screenshots. That is the only system change it makes, aside from an optional "Start at login" entry it writes for you. No signing, no elevation, no install directory.
