Why use
Instant screenshots with a single hotkey. Capture the full screen or a selected window — no menus, no interruptions.
Record bug reproductions and test walkthroughs without switching apps. Start and stop with a keyboard shortcut.
Draw attention to exactly what matters. Highlight specific screen regions during testing or demonstrations.
All screenshots and recordings stay on your device. No cloud uploads, no accounts, no data collection of any kind.
The story behind
HotQ was built to solve a friction QA engineers face every day: having to leave the application being tested just to open a screenshot tool, start a recorder, or annotate a screen.
The name says it all — hot keys for QA. Every essential testing capture tool mapped to a keyboard shortcut, running silently in the background, ready whenever you need it.
Built with Flutter, HotQ runs natively on macOS, Windows, and Linux from a single codebase. All processing happens locally — nothing ever leaves your machine.
macOS, Windows, and Linux — integrated with the menu bar and system tray
No telemetry, no analytics, no cloud — everything stays on your machine
Runs in the background with minimal resources — hotkeys always ready
Built with
Google's cross-platform framework. One codebase, three desktop platforms.
Type-safe, fast, and compiles to native code on every desktop platform.
Native menu bar (macOS) and system tray (Windows / Linux) for seamless background operation.
Only the permissions needed to capture the screen and save files locally.
