I’ve written before about a terminal script that takes a screenshot every 5 seconds and saves it to your desktop. That is what Screenbar does but you get a user interface in the menu bar where you can start and stop. You can also set how many seconds the program should wait before taking the next one. I needed this program myself when taking screenshots for a game i’m working on.
