FlameShot
A powerful, open-source screenshot tool with built-in annotation and editing capabilities for Linux, Windows, and macOS.
What is FlameShot?
Flameshot is an open-source screenshot tool that allows users to capture, annotate, and edit screenshots directly within the application. It solves the problem of needing separate tools for capture and annotation by providing a unified workflow with features like arrows, text, blurring, and instant sharing options. It supports Linux, Windows, and macOS with both GUI and CLI interfaces.
Desktop users, developers, technical writers, and support staff who regularly take and annotate screenshots for documentation, tutorials, or bug reports. It's especially useful for those who prefer keyboard-driven workflows and customization.
Developers choose Flameshot for its lightweight yet powerful feature set, open-source nature, and cross-platform compatibility. Unlike many built-in screenshot tools, it offers advanced annotation capabilities without requiring external editors, and its CLI support enables automation and integration into scripts.
