Super ScreenShot

Getting started

Install sss, take your first annotated screenshot in under a minute.

Install

Pick your platform on the install page, or use Cargo from source:

cargo install --git https://github.com/SergioRibera/sss sss_cli

Your first capture

Open an interactive area selector with the annotation overlay:

sss --area

Click-drag to pick a region. Tools appear in the toolbar — pen, rectangle, arrow, text, blur, pipette. Hit Enter to confirm, Esc to cancel.

Pick a window instead

sss --window

Hover any window to highlight it; click to select. Add --window <title> to skip the picker and target a window by title substring.

Capture the current monitor, headless

sss --screen --current

--current means “the monitor under the mouse cursor right now.” Pair with --show-cursor to composite the cursor into the frame.

Where it saves

By default sss copies the result to your clipboard and exits. Use --output <path> to save a PNG to disk instead.

Config file

Create ~/.config/sss/config.toml to set defaults. Example:

[general]
output = "~/Pictures/Screenshots/sss-%Y-%m-%d_%H-%M-%S.png"
show-cursor = true

[capture-ui]
toolbar = true
remember-last-selection = true

[ocr]
enabled = true
gpu = "auto"

See the config reference for every key. CLI flags always override config values.
