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

  • take and annotate screenshots
  • 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
