■ Introduction

ClickCapture (hereafter referred to as "this software") is a resident utility that automatically captures and saves screenshots in conjunction with left-click mouse operations.
It allows you to record your entire operational workflow as images without conscious effort.

[Main Use Cases]
- Creating operation manuals and procedure documents (simply operating the software gathers all necessary images)
- Recording parameter settings during installer execution (acquiring evidence during system construction)
- Collecting operation screens for e-learning or presentation materials
- Recording screen transitions and UI elements during RPA development
- Keeping memos during web browsing or data entry tasks

■ Editions and Licensing

This software comes in two editions: "Free Edition" and "Pro Edition" (paid). There is no functional difference between the two editions.

1. Free Edition
   Can be used free of charge.
2. Pro Edition
   Becomes the Pro Edition upon purchasing and activating a license key.
   [IMPORTANT] When using on a domain-joined PC (such as a corporate PC), the use of the Free Edition is restricted, making the purchase of a Pro Edition license mandatory.

■ Main Features

1. Automatic Capture Linked to Left-Clicks
   Detects left mouse clicks and automatically saves the target window or entire screen as an image.

2. Skip Duplicate Images
   Skips saving the capture if there is no change on the screen.
   This prevents your folder from overflowing with unnecessary captured images.

3. Automatic Transfer to Clipboard
   In addition to saving captured images to a file (Capture folder), they can also be simultaneously copied to the clipboard (can be toggled ON/OFF in settings).

4. Quick Toggle via Hotkey
   If capturing becomes unnecessary during your work, you can instantly toggle the capture feature ON/OFF at any time simply by pressing the "F9" key.

5. Resident Design and Auto-Start
   Resides in the task tray so it doesn't get in the way of your work. It can also be set to start automatically in the background when the OS boots.

■ Operating Environment

- OS: Windows 11 / Windows Server 2025

[IMPORTANT]
This software is natively compiled (Native AOT) and designed to run standalone.
No special settings or additional installations such as the .NET runtime are required.

■ Installation / Uninstallation

[Installation]
No installation process is required. Create a folder in any location, place the executable file (ClickCapture.exe) inside it, and run it.

[Uninstallation]
Close the application and delete the entire folder containing this software (ClickCapture.exe).

Upon execution, this software generates a settings file (settings.json) and a save folder (Capture), and during Pro version license activation, it generates "license.dat" and related dll files. However, all of these are created within the same folder.
Since it does not create registry entries or temporary files outside the folder, you can cleanly uninstall it simply by deleting the entire folder.

* If you have enabled "Start minimized with Windows" in the app, please disable the auto-start from the app settings before deleting the folder.

■ How to Use

1. Startup and Operation
   Double-clicking the executable file to start it will display the main window.
   If you have enabled "Start minimized with Windows" in the app settings, the window will not appear, and it will start resident in the background (task tray).

2. Selecting Capture Mode
   From the main screen, you can select whether the capture target is "Active Window Only" or "Entire Screen".

3. Executing and Checking Captures
   With the capture function turned ON, an image is saved when you left-click.
   The saved images are accumulated in the "Capture" folder located in the same place as the executable file, sequentially numbered by date (e.g., 20260530_123456_001.png).
