Voila does the same + much more, like gallery manager and recording with sound. Also uploading to SFTP and FTP.

#12This seems to be solving a problem of information being hidden by overlapping windows - but that's also solved by tiling window managers, like Amethyst and osxmonad. https://github.com/ianyh/Amethyst On the whole I think I prefer the Amethyst approach - the snappy overlays themselves obscure information beneath them.
So I've always just used Divvy for this, but Amethyst looks super awesome! I might give it a try!

#13Is it Free to use for one month, or free to download and use forever, offer expiring after one month?
It's going to be free forever. The image on the website is a bit old from when we wanted to charge for it.
It will have in-app purchases in later versions, but the basic version is always free.
Sorry for the confusion.

If it weren't for the extraneous window decoration you end up with. I'm good with using Moom to size and shape my windows on the fly on OSX. I've been relatively happy tiling on Linux though, but customizing keyboard shortcuts gets tedious quickly.
The main problem with OSX has been knowing which window is foregrounded, especially with two monitors.

The concept is a bit different.
Snappy is not a screen capture app, it's a tool for referencing info between screens. But granted, it does it by taking a snapshot of a portion of the screen.
Snappy is designed to be seamlessly used, not a feature packed app. It's an extension to the OS.

#16I kind of see the utility of having screenshotted rects remain visible. I personally will stick with Cmd+Shift+4 since it does the screenshot-with-bounds and saves to desktop by default. Maybe I just don't see what the extra value is here?
Automated upload instead of having to use Dropbox.

My same feeling. My girlfriend and coworkers love Skitch. I just use Cmd-Shift-4 and Preview when I need to add some arrows or text to a screenshot. Need to upload? Dropbox and "share link." Of course streamlining it is okay, but not for me.

#18Hello everyone, because of the HN traffic, i'll have to take the site off-line for a few minutes to resize the server.

#19Personally, I use the Dashboard clipping tool in Safari, I don't quite see what this adds.
