Quick answer

An assistant app for creating, cropping and sharing screenshots

Screenshot Assistant replaces the digital assistant app with one job: take a screenshot when you use the assist gesture, then let you crop, draw on and share it.

Setup:

1. Install the app and open it. 2. Pick it under Settings > Apps > Default apps > Digital assistant app, and turn on "Use screenshot" there. 3. Use the assist gesture (for example, long-press the home button or swipe up from a bottom corner).

Features:

- Screenshot through the Android Assist API, no screen recording permission - Crop, draw with a pen or highlighter, undo and redo - Share straight to any app, with a choice of PNG, JPG or WEBP - Nothing is saved to storage, so old screenshots don't pile up - Optional reminder after a restart or app update if Android reset the digital assistant app (needs the notification permission) - No internet access, no ads, no tracking

Requires Android 14 or newer.

How to install

  1. Download the APK from the button at the top of this page.
  2. Allow “Install unknown apps” for your browser or file manager only, not for every app.
  3. Open the downloaded file and confirm the installation.
  4. If installation fails with “App not installed,” remove an earlier build of the same app first. A signature conflict is the usual cause.
