Earlier quoted context omitted.

It's not a screenshot app.

How is me making a script to take a screenshot of my screen every 5 seconds and then putting them in a folder for each day any different? The only thing feature I can see from the apps page is that you can play back the screenshots at whatever speed you want, which hardly warrants $30.

this is indeed basically what I meant. but seeing the other comments I can see an use/product case for this. As long as it's not subscription based I have no issue with the pricing. Although I wouldn't grab my wallet at this pricepoint

Personally, I’m not so concerned about the logo. If anything, it seems kitschy and somewhat unprofessional, but that alone wouldn’t stop me from trying it.

The price is a bit more daunting. A lower introductory price would definitely help me get over that hump.

But frankly my biggest concern is disk space. If I have 4K monitors, how often does this thing fire and how much disk space does each screenshot take? How long until I’ve filled up a full 1TB of expensive SSD?

One thing about the App. As someone dealing a lot with customers, UX, UI design etc. You definitely need another logo. This icon says "This is something really old and complicated. This is for the 40-something businessman, not for you tech-savy youth", or something in that direction.

We're going to use the new icon we've designed, the first one in this image: https://twitter.com/secretGeek/status/1161965759846744065
