FlowShot was born from real frustration with existing tools. We needed something that understood design workflows, respected our time, and didn't break the bank.

The result? A tool that feels like it was made specifically for your workflow – because it was.

We're continuously improving FlowShot based on community feedback:

• 🔄 Smart Automation: AI-powered workflow detection
• 🎨 Advanced Editing: Built-in annotation and editing tools
• 🌐 Team Features: Collaboration tools for design teams
• 📱 Mobile Companion: Capture and review on the go
