Have been running TimeSnapper non-stop on my Windows laptop and Windows workstation since... January 1st, 2006 at 11:16AM. That's almost 18 years of desktop capture. Crazy to think about that. I may have been running it prior to that, but that's the first recorded date on my saved captures. 50% resolution. 60% quality. JPEG. The entire screen and any attached monitors. Hundreds and hundreds of gigabytes of my daily professional and personal life. Captured once every 10 seconds. The movies I've watched. The games I've played. The thoughts I've had. The code I wrote. All of it captured.

Prior to TimeSnapper for Mac I ran my own little script, and a companion one for Linux. Now I have TimeSnapper on my Macbook Pro too. And if you ever create a Linux version (or want someone to create a Linux version), let me know. I'd be happy to beta test.

I've lost count of the number of times that TimeSnapper has saved my arse, either with accidentally deleted data, finding an obscure web page, proving I did something on a specific date/time, or that something happened in the way I say it did, or recovering the keys to a small amount of Ethereum and Dogecoin stored in a wallet.

Thank you for TimeSnapper. It has been interesting to use it for that length of time.

Sorry, it's an flv, along with an onion on your belt, it was the fashion back in the day

Wow, Justin, cheers.

It looks like the first version was available ~ mid November 2005 (via https://secretgeek.net/snapper_wins) and available from the TimeSnapper.com domain from ~ November 28 2005. (https://secretgeek.net/TimeSnapper_ready_at_last)

So you got in very early!

The professional version was a year or two later.

cheers
