Hyprshot, but with Annotation

A simple screenshot script for Hyprland/Wayland.

📌 Output directory:
~/Pictures/Screenshots

Dependencies

Install these packages:

• slurp (region selection)
• grim (capture screenshot)
• satty (annotate/edit + save)
• wl-copy (clipboard support)

Arch

sudo pacman -S slurp grim satty wl-clipboard

Installation

Save the script somewhere in your PATH, for example:

sudo cp hyprshot.sh /usr/local/bin/
sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/hyprshot.sh

Usage

You can run the script directly from the terminal:

./hyprshot.sh

But the recommended way is to bind it to a Hyprland keybind.

Hyprland Keybind

Add this to your ~/.config/hypr/hyprland.conf:

bind = SUPER, S, exec, hyprshot.sh

• Now pressing Super + S will launch the hyprshot to take screenshot.

Why?

I made this script for a few reasons:

1. Original Hyprshot is great, but it lacks annotation support.
   Annotation is a must-have feature for any screenshot tool.

2. Hyprshot is not an official part of the Hyprland ecosystem, and it has a lot of code.
   And yeah, I’m paranoid. What if the original Hyprshot ever gets hacked? (joke)
   Smaller script = easier to audit = less attack surface. (reallyyyy wow!)

3. I already had my own screenshot script, but it used swappy.
   swappy works fine, but it needs theming/ricing and looks kinda old.

So I rewrote/updated my script to use satty instead.
satty looks modern, needs no ricing, and blends nicely with basically any Hyprland theme.

So yeah... here we are.
