If you’re using Alfred, you may create a custom workflow and assign custom hotkeys (e.g. ⌘ + ⌥ + 3 to capture the main screen and ⌘ + ⌥ + 4 to capture a selection or window interactively) that execute the scripts above. This makes the whole process invisible and perfect for daily use.

You can find your personal API key at https://picpig.com/api.
