About:
Flameshot is a powerful, open-source screenshot software that enables users to capture screens with precision and annotate them instantly. It provides a rich set of editing tools like arrows, highlights, and blur directly after capture, streamlining the workflow. Its main value is in simplifying the process of creating and sharing annotated screenshots for documentation and communication.

  • Ability to upload images to a remote host
  • Support for both GUI and command-line usage
Use Cases:

Alternatives:
  • CleanShot X – A premium, feature-rich alternative with cloud integration and scrolling capture.
  • macOS Screenshot (Native) – The built-in tool is simpler and requires no installation but lacks advanced annotation features.
