SnapX is a free, open-source, cross-platform screenshot and screen recording tool forked from ShareX, built with C# and Avalonia. It lets users capture or record any area of the screen and instantly upload images, videos, text, and other files to multiple destinations with a single keypress.
Use cases
- take screenshots and share them with one keypress
- record a region of my screen as a gif or video
- cross-platform ShareX alternative for Linux and macOS
- upload screenshots automatically to imgur or ftp
- extract text from screenshots with ocr
- capture screen area and copy to clipboard
- automate screenshot capture and upload workflows
When to choose
- you need ShareX-like screenshot and upload features on Linux or macOS, not just Windows
- you want a single tool for screenshots, screen recording, OCR, and multi-destination uploads
- you prefer free, open-source software with packages for AUR, Snap, Homebrew, Flatpak, and Winget
When to avoid
- you only use Windows and want the most mature, feature-complete option - original ShareX is more established
- you need a stable, polished product today - the project is a rewrite in progress and its website is under construction
- you need advanced video editing or annotation features beyond basic capture and share
