Flameshot

A screenshot application with on-capture annotation tools.

Overview

Flameshot focuses on taking and annotating screenshots. Its documentation describes operating-system and desktop-environment requirements, including Wayland caveats. Capture support should be checked on the actual device rather than inferred from a platform badge.

What it is for

  • Select a screen region and annotate a capture.
  • Save or copy screenshots into another workflow.

What to check first

  • Check screen-recording permissions and desktop-environment support.
  • Inspect upload settings before handling confidential screenshots.

A useful first test

Capture a dummy document, annotate it and verify the saved file without enabling a public upload.

Cost and hosting

Free, open-source software.
