Snow Apps is a C++ open-source suite containing Snow Shot, a screenshot capture and annotation tool, and Snow Image Viewer. Snow Shot offers multiple capture modes, rich annotation tools, screen pinning, and a plugin system for video recording, OCR, translation, and AI chat.
Use cases

- capture scrolling screenshots of long web pages
- extract text and tables from screenshots with ocr
- record short screen videos
- pin a screenshot to the screen for reference
- view and search screenshot history
When to choose
- you want a lightweight open-source screenshot tool with annotation
- you need OCR, translation, or AI features via plugins
- you want customizable hotkeys and capture modes on Windows
When to avoid
- you need a cross-platform tool with official Linux/macOS support
- you require a permissively licensed dependency (core is GPL-3.0)
- you need enterprise-grade screen recording
