Description (from the github page):
Meazure is a tool for easily measuring and capturing portions of the screen. Tasks such as measuring the size of a window, capturing an image, determining the color of a pixel, and determining the screen size and resolution can all be easily accomplished using Meazure.

Portable installation: download installer, install using sandboxie, then copy the files from the installation directory inside the sandbox.

I found that this is quite a unique and useful application.

Thanks for the post and welcome to the forums. I agree it's a great program but unfortunately it doesn't end up being portable. Not that you can't talk about non-portable freeware on these forums, but just would keep it out of the main database. Here's the thread with some background on Meazure's portability status.

Sorry I didn't know it has been posted before since I didn't find it in the database.

I didn't think about the portability since it works out of the box without the need to configure anything and there is no data to save so it feels almost 95% portable.

Rule of thumb is "portable" is something that works as expected -- including settings -- when you change computers...

Otherwise it's just "no install" requirement. 8)
