DevCap is a utility for periodically capturing the screen and saving it to disk. Its main target audience is developers, so you can automatically record your development progress as you work without interruption. Why would you do this? You can...
- ...document your development progress in the background.
- ...identify where you're wasting time on a project so you can improve your workflow.
- ...easily make a time lapse of your work.
- ...get those neat beta screenshots of a project without actively taking them yourself.
What are you waiting for? Try it for yourself!
A prebuilt binary is not available. You will have to build DevCap yourself from source. To do this, you will need a compiler that supports the .NET Framework 4.0 or higher.
DevCap is easy to use. It will work out of the box without any configuration, but it's recommended that you set it up.
- Screenshot directory - directory to save screenshots to
-
Screenshot type - image format to save screenshots in
- LZMA Compression - enable to save screenshots in compressed format; see this page for more information.
- Capture area - the area of the screen to capture
- Interval - how often to capture the screen
- Filename format - format string used when selecting a filename for a screenshot; for more information, check out this page.
- Start/Stop - starts and stops the recording process
Once you start the recording process, you can minimize the DevCap and get to work. By default, DevCap will minimize to the notification area when you close it using the "x" button. To actually exit DevCap, you must either press the Exit button on the window, or right click the notification icon and click "Exit."
Happy dev adventures!
