Auto Export Brings Save as You Go Back

Based on user feedback, Shotomatic brings back Save as you go as Auto Export, with better controls for format and storage.

Some Shotomatic users told us they wanted Save as you go back. We heard that feedback, and we brought it back in a better form as Auto Export.

Previous Sessions still handles built-in capture history. Auto Export now restores the other workflow users missed: saving files straight to disk while capture is still running.

What's Improved

  • Save as you go is back as Auto Export
  • Files export while capture runs, so they reach your export folder immediately
  • PNG or JPG output gives you control over quality vs file size
  • One shared setting now applies across screenshot capture, website capture, and SERP capture
  • A cleaner home in Settings keeps capture setup screens more focused

Why We Brought It Back

This one came directly from user feedback. Some people loved automatic session history, but still wanted the reassurance of seeing files saved to disk as the session happened.

Instead of forcing one workflow, Shotomatic now supports both:

  • Previous Sessions for built-in history and revisitability
  • Auto Export for immediate files on disk during capture

Why It Matters

This makes interrupted runs safer, handoff into Finder and other tools faster, and long capture sessions easier to trust. It also gives you more control over how captures land on disk, especially if you want compact JPGs or full-quality PNGs.

Most importantly, it reflects something we care about: listening to real user workflows and improving Shotomatic around them.
