Padding, rounded corners, shadow and saved presets, so a raw screenshot is presentable without a detour through an image editor.

Select a region and the recognized text lands on the clipboard. Runs locally, nothing leaves the machine.
Export a recording as a GIF, with a frame rate and a size you choose. Shipped with palette generation so the output does not look muddy.
Pick a color anywhere on screen and copy it as hex or rgb. A small thing that would save a trip to another app.
Upload, get a link, have it stop working after a day or a week. Useful for screenshots that should not outlive the conversation.
Capture a whole page by scrolling and stitching the frames. Hard to get right across toolkits, but the most requested capture mode.
A zero-setup upload target for people who do not run their own storage. Anonymous uploads keep it simple.
A small round webcam feed in a corner of the recording, for walkthroughs and bug reports.
Crop inside the editor after the capture, without starting over. Being wired up now, alongside the existing shape tools.
Long recordings need a pause key so you can skip the part where you look something up. The encoder has to handle the timestamp gap cleanly.
Building from source is fine for developers and a wall for everyone else. Packaged builds come before the 1.0 tag.
Snim targets Linux and macOS today. Qt 6 makes a Windows build plausible, but capture, hotkeys and the tray all need platform work before it is honest to ship it.
