Roadmap
Where Snim is heading.
The same board as the ideas page, sorted by where each one stands. Anything still under consideration lives on the ideas board.
Screen color picker
Pick the color of any pixel on screen and copy its hex code, without opening another tool.
Quick Access Overlay and after-capture actions
Decide what happens after each screenshot. Copy it, save it or upload it, then open the editor, show a small preview card in a corner of the screen, or show nothing at all. Most captures are copy…
AUR package
Install Snim on Arch Linux and Arch-based distributions straight from the AUR, with the helper you already use, and update it along with the rest of your system. Until then, Arch users can install the…
Crop tool in the editor
Crop a screenshot inside the editor after you take it, without starting over. Cut away the extra desktop, frame just the dialog you care about, and keep your annotations and backdrop as they are.
Instant screenshots on KDE Plasma
On KDE Plasma, Snim takes screenshots straight from KWin, Plasma's compositor. Press the hotkey and the area selector is there at once, with no permission dialog in the way, every single time.
Screenshot key opens Snim
Your keyboard's screenshot key can open Snim instead of the system tool: Print Screen on Windows and Linux, Shift+Cmd+3, 4 and 5 on macOS. Snim frees the key for you and gives it back just as…
Beautify backdrops
Make a raw screenshot presentable in one click: set it on a solid, gradient or wallpaper background with padding, rounded corners and a soft shadow. Ready for docs, slides, posts and READMEs…
OCR text snip
Select any part of the screen and Snim copies the text in it to your clipboard. Perfect for error messages, text inside images and videos, or apps that will not let you select. Recognition runs on…
GIF and WebP export
Turn a screen recording into an animated GIF or WebP that plays inline almost anywhere: chats, issues, pull requests and docs. Trim the recording first, then export just the part that matters.
Webcam bubble in recordings
Put yourself in the corner of a screen recording: a round, live webcam bubble that is recorded along with your screen. Handy for walkthroughs, demos and bug reports, where a face and a voice explain…
Pause and resume recording
Pause a recording while you look something up or set up the next step, then pick up where you left off. The pause is cut out of the file, so the video plays straight through with no frozen frames…
Linux packages, Flatpak and Homebrew
Install and update Snim the way your system expects: a .deb or .rpm on Debian, Ubuntu and Fedora, a Flatpak on any Linux distribution, and a Homebrew cask on macOS. No building from source and no…
Windows support
Snim runs natively on Windows 10 and 11, with the same capture, annotation, recording, OCR and upload features as on Linux and macOS. Install it for your user without admin rights, or keep a…
