A lightweight Windows system tray application that automatically takes periodic screenshots.

Features

• Runs silently in the system tray
• Takes screenshots at configurable intervals
• Saves as JPEG with configurable quality
• Auto-skips when screen is locked or screensaver is active
• Auto-skips when user has been idle (no keyboard/mouse activity)
• Pause/resume via right-click menu
• Organizes screenshots into date-based subfolders

Edit config.ini:

[settings]
screenshot_save_dir = C:\Screenshots
jpeg_quality = 80
screenshot_interval_seconds = 60
skip_if_inactive_seconds = 180
enable_logging = 1

• screenshot_save_dir — Where to save screenshots
• jpeg_quality — JPEG quality 1-100 (higher = bigger files)
