ScreenFlow contains a small background application that manages various aspects of the ScreenFlow experience.
Firstly, it is responsible for responding to the shift-command-2 hot-key (or the hot-key you’ve selected in Preferences).
Secondly, it is responsible for maintaining the ScreenFlow status menu () in the Menu Bar, if you choose to have the menu visible.
Lastly, it is responsible for managing the recording process and relaunching the ScreenFlow application when recording is complete.
So that ScreenFlow’s hot-key is always available to you, it
is suggested that you tick Launch ScreenFlow at user login
in
the Preferences dialog.
You can disable the ScreenFlow Menu in the Preferences settings dialog.
