Articles and insights about Argus Capture By Agata Hexe.
That "Screenshot 2026-06-14 at 14.32.15.png" filename seems harmless. Over hundreds of files it becomes a real tax on your time — and one naming template fixes it permanently.
Six tokens. One pattern. Every screenshot named correctly the moment it lands on disk — with the app, date, size, and target store already in the filename.
Argus Capture exposes 10 App Intents and a custom URL scheme so you can trigger screenshots, start and stop recordings, drop chapter markers, and query live config from Shortcuts, the terminal, or any AI agent — without leaving your workflow.
Most screenshot tools live outside your scripts. Argus Capture ships a custom URL scheme so you can start captures, stop recordings, and read config back from any shell, CI pipeline, or AI agent.
Most screenshot tools make you blur the whole image or nothing at all. Here is how to draw a blur box over exactly the part you want hidden and leave everything else pixel-perfect.
Most annotation workflows make you finish the capture, open a second app, mark it up, export again. Here is how to draw arrows, add blur boxes, and spotlight regions on-screen during or after capture — without leaving the tool.
You do not need a design tool to make a screenshot look like it belongs on a product page. The right background gradient, applied at capture time, does most of the work in one click.
Adding a device frame to a screenshot does not have to mean a detour to Figma. Here is how to keep the whole thing inside your capture workflow on macOS.
Argus Capture Steps mode gives you two ways to export numbered screenshots: one stacked image or one file per step. Here is how each output mode works, when to use which, and what the difference looks like inside your actual documentation workflow.
Most documentation tools make you add numbered badges by hand, in a design app, after the fact. There is a better way — and it lives right in your macOS capture workflow.
Every recording context needs different settings — codec, resolution, audio, overlays. Named profiles encode those decisions once so you never touch them again before a take.
Four codecs, four very different trade-offs. Here is how H.264, HEVC, ProRes 422, and ProRes 4444 behave in a screen recorder — and which one to reach for depending on what you are making.
Bug report recordings drag on because nothing forces them to stop. A 60-second auto-stop built into the recording profile changes that — and makes every report faster to watch.
A single screenshot with an exposed API key can compromise a production system. Here is how on-device OCR pattern-matching catches secrets automatically before the file is ever saved.
One public screenshot with a visible API key is all it takes. Here is the on-device detection system built into Argus Capture that catches secrets before they leave your Mac.
Shipping to the iOS App Store, Google Play, and the Mac App Store means supplying a completely different set of screenshot sizes for each. Here is how to take one capture and let export templates handle the rest.
Every app store wants a different size. Most developers discover this the hard way, at 2 AM before a submission deadline. Here is what the store preset system in Argus Capture actually does — and why one capture is enough.
App Store rejections rarely come from bad code. They come from the wrong pixel dimensions. Here is the complete size chart for every major store — and how to export all of them from a single capture.
