About winshot

WinShot is a screenshot utility designed for Windows systems. It enables users to capture images of their screen, annotate them with various tools, and export them in different formats. The application is built using Wails, combining Go for backend functionality and React/TypeScript for the frontend interface.

The tool offers multiple capture modes, including fullscreen, region, and window captures, which can be triggered via global hotkeys. Annotations such as shapes, arrows, text, and numbers can be added to screenshots, and non-destructive editing allows for adjustments without losing original data.

WinShot integrates with the Windows system tray, supports auto-start on boot, and minimizes to the tray for quick access. It provides export options in PNG and JPEG formats, with control over quality and background inclusion. The application is lightweight, with a focus on native performance and a modern glassmorphism UI design.
