A professional-grade GNOME Shell extension that brings a macOS-inspired annotation workflow to your desktop. It automatically monitors your screenshots folder and opens a feature-rich editor the moment a new capture is detected.
- Automated Workflow: Detects new screenshots instantly and opens them in the editor.
- Precision Tools: Freehand drawing, geometric shapes (rectangles, circles), and arrows.
- Advanced Editing: Add text annotations and pixelate sensitive information for privacy.
- Smart OCR: Extract text from images using the system's Tesseract engine.
- Seamless Integration: One-click "Copy to Clipboard" or "Save to Disk" to keep your workflow fast.
- Offline & Private: No external network requests; all processing is done locally on your machine.
To enable the OCR (Optical Character Recognition) functionality, ensure tesseract is installed on your system:
- Fedora:
sudo dnf install tesseract - Ubuntu/Debian:
sudo apt install tesseract-ocr - Arch Linux:
sudo pacman -S tesseract
- Clone this repository.
- Run the installation script:
./install.sh
- Restart GNOME Shell (
Alt+F2, typer, and pressEnter). - Enable the extension via Extensions or Extension Manager.
This extension is currently optimized for submission to the GNOME Extensions Store (EGO). It adheres to all modern standards, including ESM (GJS), GTK4/GTK3 hybrid compatibility, and strict resource management to prevent memory leaks.
