## What it is
Satty is a modern screenshot annotation tool for Linux and BSD, inspired by Swappy and Flameshot. It provides a simple toolset, fullscreen annotation, post-shot cropping, and hardware-accelerated rendering via OpenGL with a GTK/Adwaita UI.

## Use cases
- annotate screenshots on wayland
- draw arrows and text on a screenshot before sharing
- crop a screenshot after taking it
- copy annotated screenshot to clipboard
- screenshot annotation tool for sway or hyprland
- replace flameshot on wlroots compositors

## When to choose
- you use a wlroots-based Wayland compositor like Sway, Hyprland, or River
- you want a simple, minimal annotation UI with smooth hardware-accelerated rendering
- you need to pipe screenshots from stdin and save to clipboard or file

## When to avoid
- you need a full-featured screenshot capture tool with built-in region selection on X11
- you are on Windows or macOS
- you need collaborative or cloud-based annotation features
