Projects

A project is a subfolder of your captures folder. While a project is active, every screenshot and recording is saved into it. You do not have to move anything.

Start a project

1. Open the menu-bar icon and choose Project.
2. Choose New Project….
3. Type a name, like "Website Redesign", and click Create.

The project becomes active. The menu now reads "Project: Website Redesign". A toast confirms it.

The folder is created inside your captures folder (Pictures › Frayo › your project name by default). A folder you make there in Finder is a project too. Characters like / and : in the name are replaced with -.

Switch or stop

Open Project in the menu and pick another project, or No Project to stop. A checkmark shows the active one. Show "name" in Finder opens its folder.

What happens to a capture

• The capture is saved in the project folder. There is one file, no copy.
• Captures in a project never expire.
• A capture belongs to one project. Move to Project moves the file.

Add old captures

In the Library, right-click a capture and choose Move to Project. Or select several and use the Project button in the bottom bar. You can also create a new project from that menu.

Filter by project

Once you have a project, the Library toolbar shows a project filter: All Projects, No Project, or each project.

Rename or delete a project

In the Library, pick the project in the project filter, then open the same menu again and choose Rename Project… or Delete Project…. Both are also in the menu-bar Project menu for the active project. They are greyed out while the filter is All Projects or No Project.

• Rename also renames the folder. If a folder with that name already exists, nothing changes.
• Delete moves its captures back to the top of the captures folder, saved so they don't expire, then removes the empty folder.
• Pin keeps a project at the top of the Library sidebar.

Tips

• One project per task or client. Switch when you switch work.
• The project folder is a normal folder inside your captures folder, so it syncs with it (see Cloud sync folders).
