One app instead of four
Lightshot is great for quick screenshots. Loom is great for async video. ShareX is powerful but complex. ATCapture puts screenshots, recordings, links and QR codes in one simple Windows app, with a dashboard to control and measure what you share.

What happens after you share matters too
Most tools stop at the file. ATCapture keeps working once the link is out.
Protected links
Password, sign-in only, expiry dates and view limits. Change them after sharing.
Comments on the capture
Viewers discuss on the share page and pin comments to a spot or a moment.
Link analytics
Views, unique visitors, devices and countries, with bots counted apart.
A library, not a folder
Search, tags, filters and a trash with restore in your dashboard.
Team rules
Members, seats, and sharing defaults that apply to everyone's links.
Your brand
Your logo and name on share pages and your own short-link domain.
When each tool fits
Keep the speed, add the rest
Lightshot is enough if your work is screenshot-only. ATCapture keeps one-shortcut capture and adds recording, links and QR codes.
Video and stills in one place
Loom focuses on hosted video. ATCapture covers recordings and annotated screenshots, with links you can paste into any tool.
Simple by default
ShareX is hard to beat for automation. ATCapture is for people who want to install it and start capturing in minutes.
