After installing Katana, use the configured keyboard shortcut or menu bar option to capture a screenshot; it automatically uploads to Imgur if set as the default host in preferences. You can also drag files onto the menu bar icon for uploads.

Question 2

Katana vs CleanShot X: which is better for quick sharing?

Accepted Answer

Katana is free and open-source with basic upload and link shortening, ideal for lightweight use. CleanShot X offers more features like annotations and scrolling captures but is paid, so Katana suits budget-conscious users needing simplicity.

Question 3

Can Katana shorten links from any app?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Katana's link shortening works with any URL copied to the clipboard, regardless of the source app. Just copy a link, and use Katana's menu bar option to shorten it instantly.

Question 4

Is Katana safe to use for private screenshots?

Accepted Answer

Katana uploads screenshots to external hosts like Imgur, which have their own privacy policies; it lacks built-in encryption or local-only options. For highly sensitive content, consider tools with end-to-end encryption or offline modes.

Question 5

How to customize keyboard shortcuts in Katana?

Accepted Answer

Open Katana's preferences from the menu bar, where you can set custom keyboard shortcuts for screenshot capture, uploads, and link shortening to match your workflow, as mentioned in the features list.

Question 6

Does Katana support batch uploading of multiple files?

Accepted Answer

No, Katana does not support batch uploading; it's designed for single-file drag-and-drop or direct captures. For bulk operations, you'd need to use each file individually or look for alternative tools.
