DMT Snap: Freeze Any Screen as a Reference on Your Second Monitor
A small module with an outsized payoff for analysts, developers, and anyone who keeps losing their place between windows.
How it works
- Press your Snap hotkey. DMT captures the primary monitor.
- The frozen image appears on your secondary monitor, always on top.
- Work on the primary screen with the reference pinned beside you.
- Press the hotkey again for a fresh snapshot, or save the snap to a file.
When Snap beats Alt-Tab
Comparing a static chart against live data. Following step-by-step instructions while configuring software. Keeping a 2FA code or ticket number visible while typing it elsewhere.
Tips
Pro tips
- You can choose which monitor the snap appears on — handy with 3+ screens.
- Bind “save snap to file” to document bugs: one keypress captures and files the evidence.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is DMT Snap for?
Keeping a static reference visible. Freeze a chart, ticket, or instructions on your second monitor while you work with live data on the primary one.
Can I save a snap to a file?
Yes — snaps can be saved to an image file or copied to the clipboard with a hotkey.
Does the snap update in real time?
No — that’s the point. A snap is a frozen frame. Take a new snapshot whenever the source changes.
