Have You Ever Encountered These Scenarios?
Operating a SaaS backend, you need to record every interface state for reporting, auditing, or tutorial creation.
Analyzing competitors, you want to systematically save their UI changes, but screen recordings are massive and reviewing them is like "finding a needle in a haystack."
Monitoring web application status, you need to periodically archive interfaces, but manual screenshots are tedious and irregular.
Screen recordings are bulky and hard to search through; manual screenshots are cumbersome and easy to miss critical moments.

To address this, I developed a lightweight browser extension called "Interval Screenshot" that solves one core problem: automatically taking timed screenshots of the current tab.
Core Features:
🕐 Precise Timing: Supports automatic screenshots at intervals as short as 1 second, 2 seconds, or 5 seconds—hands-free operation.
📁 Organized Storage: Screenshots are automatically categorized and saved by domain and time, making them easy to find and review.
🏃 Lightweight & Efficient: Compared to screen recordings, it generates highly compressed images, saving significant disk space.
🔧 Simple to Use: No complicated setup required—just click start and it runs automatically in the background.
Use Cases:
- SaaS Operation Recording: Complete workflow documentation with verifiable records of every step.
- Competitor Interface Research: Capture UI details with precision and easily compare different versions.
- Web Monitoring/Archiving: Regular "snapshot" backups of important web pages.
- Automated Report Generation: Automatically generate coherent interface screenshots for tutorials and documentation. Currently supports Chrome and Firefox.
