As always, this post and all of my Going Paperless posts is also available on Pinterest. If you have a suggestion for a future Going Paperless post, let know me.

I hope that in the future, this feature will be added. Currently, the Windows version of Skitch can’t do a timed screen snap. In my day job I work on a Windows machine, and if there is one Evernote feature I am desperate for on that machine it is the Timed Screen Snap for Skitch. Timed screen snaps allow me to easily create screen captures of exactly what I want to that I can be specific in my instructions or documentation.Īnything you capture in Skitch can be synced and saved in Evernote, so you don’t have to worry about losing the screen capture, and indeed, can access it from anywhere once you’ve synced with Evernote. You know: you get those questions like, “How do I create a filter for this email?” or something similar.

The timed screen snap allows me to stage the screenshot exactly how I want it.

Skitch will then give you a countdown–the default is 5 seconds.You highlight the part of the screen you want to capture.You select the Timed Screen Capture option.Have you ever tried to do a screen capture where you are trying to illustrate an option on a pull-down menu, only to have the menu disappear the minute you press a key to do the screen capture? The timed screen capture feature in Skitch is designed to solve just this type of problem. One of the features I love in Skitch for the Macintosh 1 is its ability to do timed screen captures. I use Skitch for these screen captures as well. As a blogger, writing about, say, Going Paperless, I also do a lot of screen captures, as readers of these posts well know. I use Skitch for all of these because they are easy to mark up. As a software developer in my day job, I find I am often doing lots of screen captures.
