This project is a desktop screen capture and annotation utility designed for Linux environments. It provides an interactive graphical overlay that allows users to select specific screen regions, apply visual annotations such as shapes, text, and pixelation, and manage the resulting images through a configurable post-capture pipeline.
The application distinguishes itself through deep system integration and automation capabilities. It operates as a persistent background daemon that monitors global hotkeys and supports inter-process communication via a system message bus, enabling users to trigger captures or manage workflows programmatically through terminal commands and external scripts. This architecture allows the tool to replace default system screenshot utilities while maintaining a consistent state through local configuration files.
Beyond core capture and editing, the software includes extensive support for workflow customization and content distribution. Users can define custom keyboard shortcuts, adjust interface themes, and automate tasks such as saving files to disk, copying to the clipboard, or uploading images directly to remote hosting services. The tool also provides mechanisms for redacting sensitive information from captures before they are shared or stored.
The software is distributed through standard system package managers, with options to retrieve pre-compiled builds for testing new features. It requires appropriate system permissions to access screen content and integrate with the desktop environment.
