Swappy is a Wayland-native screenshot annotation and editing tool inspired by Snappy on macOS. It accepts images from stdin or files (e.g., from grim/slurp) and lets users draw, add text, blur, and save or copy annotated screenshots.
Use cases
- annotate screenshots on wayland
- edit a screenshot with arrows and blur
- pipe grim output into an annotation tool
- save annotated screenshots to a configured directory
- capture and mark up a specific sway window
When to choose
- you use Wayland (sway, wlroots compositors) and need quick screenshot annotation
- you want to pipe screenshots from grim/slurp or other stdout-capable capture tools
- you prefer a lightweight native tool over full image editors
When to avoid
- you are on X11 rather than Wayland
- you need advanced image editing beyond annotation (layers, filters)
- you need a cross-platform GUI editor
