A Windows app by Home Field

Screenshot Sense

by Home Field

Make anything on your screen useful.

Understand it. Extract it. Research it. Act on it.

Capture any window, or any part of one, with a single click. Mark it up in a fast editor. Then let the app tell you what you captured, pull the content out of it, look up what you still need to know, and hand it to the app that does the next step.

Coming soon to the Microsoft Store See plans

For Windows 10 and Windows 11 on 64-bit (x64) PCs. 14-day free trial.

Four jobs

Every capture answers four questions.

Screenshot Sense starts in Local Only mode, where every capture is read on your PC and nothing is sent anywhere. Web lookups are an option you turn on.

Understand

Know what you captured

The app identifies what is on screen: the program and its version, error messages, products, documents, tables, charts, events, addresses, QR and barcodes, code, contacts, and objects in a photo. It reads text with the recognition built into Windows and the text an app reports through Windows accessibility.

Windows error codes explained in plain language
Signs of scams and phishing pointed out
Passwords, card numbers, and ID numbers flagged so you can blur them

Extract

Get the content out

Clean text from any capture, a table as CSV, TSV, Markdown, or JSON, contacts, calendar events, invoice and receipt fields, code and logs, web addresses, dates, phone numbers, and email addresses. Numbers such as VINs, ISBNs, product barcodes, and tracking numbers are checked as they come out.

Copy the text from a capture in one click
Barcodes and QR codes decoded on your PC
Wi-Fi passwords and ID card details are never pulled out of a code

Research

Find what you still need to know

Turn on Best Quality and a capture that looks like a product, a store page, or a barcode is identified online. The card lists store offers from Google Shopping and eBay, cheapest first, with specifications, features, warranty, known issues, and what reviewers say. Error messages get an exact search, the official documentation, and the latest version of the program.

Recalls for a vehicle from its VIN, and books from an ISBN
Documents, chats, and code are not sent for identification
Captures that look sensitive are never sent automatically

Act

Hand it to the next step

Copy it, open it in Excel, draft a calendar event or an email, open an address in Maps, follow a web address, track a package, translate it, get it explained, or turn it into support-ticket or bug-report text. Then save it, share it, or back it up to your own cloud.

Backups go to your Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox, Box, or a folder you pick

Capture and editor

Snap to the part you want, then mark it up.

Capture

Press Ctrl+Shift+Space, or any shortcut you choose, including Print Screen. Point at a window and the app outlines its major parts, such as a sidebar, a web page, or a panel. Click to capture, scroll to pick a larger or smaller part, or drag any area.

Point at a title bar to capture the whole window

Editor

Arrows, lines, text, callouts, shapes, numbered steps, pen, highlighter, fill, blur and pixelate, spotlight, and crop. Select pixels and move or copy them, and change the order of anything you add.

Local first

Text, codes, Windows details, and basic classification are read on your PC. The cloud is used only when it adds something.

Windows knows best

For a window capture the app reads the program's own identity and version from Windows rather than guessing from pixels.

Your own cloud

Back up captures to Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox, Box, or a synced folder. Backups are off until you choose one.

No account

The license is checked on your PC. The app never asks a server whether you are licensed.

System requirements

What you need

Capture, the editor, text recognition, and code reading work offline. An internet connection is needed only for Research lookups and cloud backups.
