Introduction

Shottr offers a variety of features including capturing screenshots, annotating them, and quick editing. Integrated with Raycast, it provides an enhanced user experience with streamlined access and added functionality.

Installation and Setup

Before using the Shottr Extension:

1. Make sure Raycast is installed on your system.
2. Download and install Shottr.
3. Enable the URL Schema API in Shottr settings.
4. Install the Shottr Extension for Raycast from the Raycast store.
5. Once installed, you will find various commands under the Shottr Extension in Raycast.

Preferences

Close Main Window

This extension provides a preference to control whether Raycast's main window is closed before executing a screenshot command.

Setting	Behavior
ON (default)	Closes the Raycast main window before taking a screenshot — prevents the Raycast UI from appearing in your capture. However, you will not be able to screenshot Raycast's main window itself.
OFF	Does not close the main window — recommended if you trigger commands via keyboard shortcuts, since the main window won't be opened in the first place.

When to use ON: You trigger Shottr commands by opening Raycast's main window and searching for the command.

When to use OFF: You have keyboard shortcuts bound directly to each Shottr command.
