Clippings

A screen capture app for Mavernix. Print Screen freezes the desktop, you choose a part, a window or a screen, and the picture opens in a document window to mark up, save, copy or drag elsewhere.

• Selection, window, screen and all screens, with a delay and an optional pointer
• Crop, arrows, lines, rectangles, ovals, text, sketching and highlighting
• Solid redaction that replaces the covered pixels, plus pixelate and blur
• Undo, zoom, PNG, JPEG, TIFF and WebP, a clipboard that outlives the program

Pixelate and blur hide detail but they are not a secure way to remove text. Use Redact for anything sensitive.

Building

Needs Qt 6, LayerShellQt, grim and wl-copy. Window captures use Mavernix's window-pictures compositor plugin.

meson setup build && meson compile -C build && meson test -C build

Installing for yourself

The icon and tool pictures aren't in this repository. They come from an OS X installer you own:

packaging/import-art /path/to/installer
packaging/install-local

Bind a key by adding this to commands in your Mavernix choices file:

"clippings": {"key": "KEY_SYSRQ", "run": ["/path/to/opt/clippings/bin/clippings", "--capture", "selection"]}
