Satty - a Screenshot Annotation Tool inspired by Swappy and Flameshot.

Satty has been created to provide the following improvements over existing screenshot annotation tools:

• very simple and easy to understand toolset (like Swappy)
• fullscreen annotation mode and post shot cropping (like Flameshot)
• working on wlroots based compositors (Sway, Hyprland, River, ...)
• modern looking UI, thanks to GTK and Adwaita
• be a playground for new features (post window selection, post paint editing, ...)

You can get the official Arch Linux package from the AUR:

yay -S satty-bin

You can download a prebuilt binary for x86-64 on the Satty Releases page.

You first need to install the native dependencies of Satty (see below) and then run:

cargo build --release

Satty is based on GTK-4 and Adwaita.

• libgtk-4-1
• libadwaita-1-0

• pango
• glib2
• cairo
• libadwaita
• gtk4
• gdk-pixbuf2

Start by providing a filename or a screenshot via stdin and annotate using the available tools. Save to clipboard or file when finished. Tools and Interface have been kept simple.

You can bind a key to the following command:

grim -g "$(slurp -o -r -c '#ff0000ff')" - | satty --filename - --fullscreen --output-filename ~/Pictures/Screenshots/satty-$(date '+%Y%m%d-%H:%M:%S').png
