🚀 ContentCapture Pro

😩 The Problem Every Truth-Teller Faces

If you spend any time sharing content online — great articles, useful tutorials, or just trying to keep people informed — you know the frustration.

You find a perfect article that proves your point. You copy the link. You paste it on Facebook. Then someone on Twitter needs to see it. Copy, paste again. Then Bluesky. Then you want to email it to a friend. Copy, paste, copy, paste, copy, paste...

And that image that perfectly illustrates the point? Good luck finding it again in your Downloads folder three days later.

I got tired of it. So I built something better.

🎯 What Is ContentCapture Pro?

ContentCapture Pro is a free, open-source Windows application built with AutoHotkey v2 that lets you:

• Capture any webpage instantly — Press Ctrl+Alt+G on any webpage to save the URL, title, and any text you've highlighted
• Give it a memorable name — Call it something you'll remember, like "drivertricks" or "recipeideas" or "aboreturnpolicy"
• Recall it instantly anywhere — Just type that name and press space. The content appears. Done.
• Share to any platform — Add a suffix to share: drivertricksfb for Facebook, drivertricksx for Twitter, drivertricksbs for Bluesky
• Email with one keystroke — Type drivertricksem and Outlook opens with your content ready to send
• Attach images — Save images with your captures and share them too

⚡ How It Works

Capturing Content

You're reading an article about Windows driver optimization tricks that you know you'll need again someday.

1. Highlight the key tips
2. Press Ctrl+Alt+G
3. A window pops up with the URL, title, and your highlighted text already filled in
4. Give it a name: drivertricks
5. Click Save

That's it. Captured forever.

Using Your Captures

A week later, you're troubleshooting a computer issue. You don't have to hunt through bookmarks or search your browser history.

Just type drivertricks and press space.

The full content — your notes, the article text, and the link — pastes right into whatever you're typing in.

The Suffix System

Here's where it gets powerful. You don't just paste — you can take action:

🖼️ NEW: Image Suffixes (v5.9.2)

Attach images to your captures and share them alongside your content:

🧠 Platform-Aware Intelligence

ContentCapture Pro knows each platform's rules and works with them:

The system automatically respects these limits and warns you when your content is too long, offering to create a shortened version.

🎬 Smart Video Sharing

When you include video URLs in your captures, ContentCapture Pro knows to place them last in your content. Why? Because social media platforms display preview cards for the last link — putting your video URL last ensures the video thumbnail shows up as the preview, not a generic link icon.

📊 The Power of Accumulation

I've been using this system for years. I now have over 4,800 captures — articles, quotes, fact-checks, responses to common lies, research links, and more.

• When I need that recipe I loved, I type pastarecipe and it appears
• When someone asks about a tech fix, I type win11fix and the solution pastes instantly
• When I need to share a great video, I type ahktutorial and it's ready to post

This isn't just a tool — it's a personal knowledge base that grows more powerful every day.

🔧 Features That Make It Special

🔬 Research Tools Built In

ContentCapture Pro isn't just for sharing — it's a research powerhouse. Add these suffixes to instantly launch research tools:

Example: You captured an article at healthclaim. Type healthclaimfc to fact-check it on Snopes, or healthclaimgs to find academic research on the topic.

AI Integration

ContentCapture Pro can connect to AI services to summarize your captures:

mypostsum — Summarizes with AI (supports ChatGPT, Claude, or local Ollama)

Searchable Browser

Press Ctrl+Alt+B to open a searchable browser of all your captures. Filter by tags, search by keyword, preview content with hover tooltips.

Automatic Backups

The system automatically backs up your captures to cloud drives (Dropbox, OneDrive) or USB drives. Never lose your knowledge base.

Character Limit Detection

When sharing to Twitter or Bluesky, the system warns you if your content exceeds the character limit and offers to create a shortened version.

🔒 Privacy Protection — Tracking Removal

When you capture URLs, ContentCapture Pro automatically strips tracking parameters that companies use to follow you around the web:

• YouTube links — Removes tracking IDs that identify your viewing session
• UTM parameters — Strips utm_source, utm_campaign, and other marketing trackers
• Facebook click IDs — Removes fbclid tracking codes
• Google click IDs — Removes gclid tracking codes

When you share a link, your recipients get a clean URL — not one that tracks back to you or clutters their browser history with tracking garbage.

🛡️ Your Data Stays Yours

• 100% Local — All your captures are stored on your computer in plain text files
• No Account Required — No sign-ups, no logins, no cloud services
• No Telemetry — The app never phones home or sends usage data anywhere
• Fully Portable — Copy your folder to another computer and everything works
• Human-Readable Format — Your captures.dat file is plain text you can open in Notepad

💾 Never Lose Your Work

• Auto-Backup — Automatically backs up to Dropbox, OneDrive, or USB drives when detected
• Manual Backup — One-click backup anytime you want
• Export to HTML — Export your entire collection as a browsable HTML file
• Crash Recovery — If something goes wrong, your data is safe in multiple locations

⚡ Built for Speed

• Instant Hotstrings — No lag, no delay — type and it appears
• Lightweight — Uses minimal system resources, runs in the background
• Fast Search — Find any capture instantly with the searchable browser (Ctrl+Alt+B)
• Hover Preview — See capture contents just by hovering over names in the browser

💪 Why I Built This

I built ContentCapture Pro because I was tired of losing great content.

We find amazing articles, useful tutorials, important information — and then we lose it. Bookmarks pile up. Browser history gets cleared. That perfect quote you meant to save? Gone.

Sharing is even worse. Copy the link, paste it here, paste it there, find the image, upload it again...

ContentCapture Pro is my answer. Save it once. Use it forever.

Every article you capture is ready when you need it. Every tutorial you save is one search away. Every quote you preserve is waiting to be shared.

Build your knowledge base. Share what matters. Work smarter, not harder.
