winget install --id=BieleckiLtd.PrtScr -e Press Print Screen to capture a region, a window or a screen, or record one. Captures open in an editor with arrows, shapes, text, highlights, blur and crop, and are kept in a library on your disk. Recordings can be cut and annotated on a timeline. PrtScr keeps itself up to date.
Press one key. Capture, mark up, record and share, all on your own machine.
Screenshots and screen recordings for Windows and macOS, and screenshots on Linux. A real editor built in. No account. No watermark. Your captures stay on your disk. Find any capture by the words in it or by what it shows, with AI that runs on your own computer.

Screenshots of PrtScr. The pages, names and figures in the captures are made up.

Type a word you remember, or describe what you saw. The library's search looks at every capture three ways at once, all of it on your computer:
Local AI search runs Google's EmbeddingGemma model on your computer, offline. It downloads once (about 320 MB) and reads your captures while you are away from the computer. Nothing you capture or search for is sent anywhere. It runs on Windows, on Linux and on Macs with Apple silicon, and comes with the release after 0.1.29.
Prefer the command line? In a terminal, run winget install BieleckiLtd.PrtScr. It installs the
same setup. winget's listing may trail the newest release, which doesn't matter: PrtScr updates
itself, so you don't need winget upgrade.
Needs 64-bit Windows 10 version 2004 or later, or Windows 11. If you left recording out, add it any time from Settings → Optional features.
Needs macOS 13 or later. Would you rather drag the app to Applications yourself? Each release
also has the app's own disk images: PrtScr-macos-arm64.dmg for Apple silicon and
PrtScr-macos-x64.dmg for Intel.
Screenshots, the library and the editor work on Linux; screen recording is not there yet. PrtScr is made with Omarchy in mind and also runs on other Hyprland setups, GNOME and KDE, on Wayland or X11, on 64-bit x86.
Download PrtScr-linux-x64.run and run it in a terminal:
bash ~/Downloads/PrtScr-linux-x64.run
It installs PrtScr for you alone in ~/.local/opt/PrtScr, with no administrator rights, adds
it to your applications menu with a prtscr command, and starts it.
When it offers to install what PrtScr needs (WebKitGTK, and wl-clipboard or xclip),
say yes. Your package manager asks for your password. If your package lists are out of date,
it says what to run first: omarchy update on Omarchy, sudo pacman -Syu on other Arch.
On Omarchy or another Hyprland setup, say yes when it offers to make
Print Screen and Super+Shift+S capture with
PrtScr. On GNOME or KDE, add a keyboard shortcut of your own that runs
prtscr --capture-region.
PrtScr waits in your desktop's tray. On Wayland it captures through your desktop's portal, which may ask once whether PrtScr may.
Opening PrtScr again from the applications menu shows its library. On Omarchy, close the library
window with Super+W; prtscr --quit quits PrtScr.
bash PrtScr-linux-x64.run --uninstall removes it and gives Hyprland's keys back; your captures
stay in ~/.local/share/PrtScr.
Not on Linux yet: screen recording, picking a window to capture (except on Hyprland), and backup locations that need a password or a sign-in.
PrtScr keeps itself up to date on every system. It downloads a new version in the background and switches to it when you choose Restart to update, when you are away from the computer, or the next time PrtScr starts. Settings can turn that off, and Check for updates is in Settings and in the tray or menu bar menu.
Nothing you capture leaves your computer unless you send it or connect a backup location. Reading the text in captures and local AI search both happen on your computer. There is no account. Error reports are off unless you turn on Send anonymous error reports; a report says what failed and where in PrtScr, with your names, folders and e-mail addresses taken out, and Settings lists each one exactly as it was sent.
