The Free Tool That Changed How I Share Content Online
A collaboration between a determined AutoHotkey enthusiast and Claude AI
Download Free on GitHub Get AutoHotkey v2
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...
You watch a YouTube video with killer points — but later you can't remember which video it was or what was said. The transcript is gone. Your notes are scattered across three different apps.
I got tired of it. So I built something better.
ContentCapture Pro is a free, open-source Windows application built with AutoHotkey v2 that lets you capture any webpage with one hotkey and recall it instantly using short, memorable names. Share to email, social media, or AI research tools with a simple suffix.
Press Ctrl+Alt+G on any webpage to save the URL, title, and highlighted text. YouTube videos get their transcript saved automatically.
Give it a name like climatedata. Type it anywhere and press Space — your content appears. Under 2 seconds.
Add a suffix: climatedatafb for Facebook, climatedatax for Twitter, climatedataem for email. 22 actions per capture.
Send captures to ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, or Ollama. AI builds prompts for Facebook posts, fact-checks, summaries, and more.
YouTube transcripts get their own dedicated field. Your notes stay separate from the raw transcript. Reference either one anytime.
No cloud. No accounts. No telemetry. Everything stays on your computer in plain text files you can read and edit yourself.

I need to be honest: I didn't build this alone.
ContentCapture Pro exists because of my partnership with Claude AI, created by Anthropic. I'm not a professional programmer. I'm an AutoHotkey enthusiast who had a vision. Claude helped me turn that vision into reality.
Over hundreds of conversations, Claude and I designed the architecture, solved countless bugs, converted from AHK v1 to v2, built the image sharing system, created the research tools, added the transcript field, and built the AI summarization system.
None of this would exist without Claude AI. I'm grateful every day for this collaboration.
Free and open source. No subscriptions. No data collection. No strings attached.
