Core Capabilities

Everything you need for daily screen capture, recording, and sharing.

ShareX (.sxcu) Destinations

Import `.sxcu` files directly. Supports multipart form data, JSON payloads, headers, regexes, and vanity domain mappings.

Intelligent Wayland Router

Automatically selects the fastest capture pipeline between XDG Desktop Portal, direct `grim`/`slurp`, and compositor IPC.

GPU Recording Studio

Smooth 60/120 FPS recording via `gpu-screen-recorder` (NVENC / VAAPI) and `wf-recorder` for video and palette-optimized GIFs.

Annotations & Privacy Redaction

Add arrows, step markers, rectangles, freehand brush strokes, and pixelate credentials and tokens before sharing.
