OpenShotX

Since moving from MacOS to Linux, the app I most miss is CleanShot X - by far the most feature-full and "just works" screenshot app out there. So now I'm trying to build one for Linux.

It's a feature-rich, efficient screen capture and recording tool designed exclusively for Linux. Inspired by the functionality and user experience of CleanShot X on macOS, this application aims to bring a similar, if not better, level of convenience and capability to the Linux environment.

Key Features:

  • UX that gets out of the way
  • Screen recording with customizable settings, including recording in GIF
  • From full-screen captures to selective area snapshots, to scrolling capture
  • Edit and annotate your screenshots with a variety of tools.
  • OCR for extracting text from images.
  • Option to directly upload and share your captures to your cloud.

Thinking about adding:

  • Sensitive info blurring
  • Timelapse (of screen or window)
