Shotomatic 1.10.1: a guided first run and faster Auto Capture

Shotomatic 1.10.1 changes the first run, Auto Capture, and several smaller things across the app.

First run

The first time you open Shotomatic, it asks what you want to capture, takes you there, and asks only for the permissions that path needs. A Getting started card then shows the next step until you are set up.

Auto Capture

• The countdown before a capture shows large in the capture toolbar, with Cancel next to it. The main window moves out of the way when the countdown starts.
• Shotomatic takes the first screenshot sooner after the countdown and sends key presses faster.
• Stop when the page stops changing ends a capture at the last page of a book. Shotomatic does not save unchanged screenshots.
• A key press is sent only while the captured window is in front. Otherwise the capture pauses, so a key never lands in another app.
• A Duration stop condition counts from the first screenshot.

Around the app

• Shotomatic has its own menu bar, with File, Edit, View, Go, Window, and Help in all six app languages.
• MP4 export uses the system's H.264 encoder. It works on every Mac, and the app is about 43 MB smaller.
• Exported file names use your local date.
• Switching between screens in the sidebar is quicker.
• If Shotomatic cannot start, it shows a message instead of an empty Dock icon.
• On macOS 27, Shotomatic shows the Accessibility permission under the system's new name, Device Control and Data Access.
• In Settings > License, you can enter another key when a saved license cannot be verified.

Update to Shotomatic v1.10.1 to get these changes.
