Επιτελους μια ωραια κ απλη εφαρμογη για Screenshots!!!

EXCELENTE

I paid again. not because you asked or something happened, I did it for me. The value I have had from this extension over the years makes me feel guilty for that one-time price back in 2019. Thats over 5 years ago,. It’s incredible how much I benefit from this tool every day. Thanks, Jason nice work.
