Native multi-monitor screenshot capture, annotation, and cropping tool for KoBar.
KoBar is a versatile platform designed to host a rich ecosystem of plugins, seamlessly integrating powerful tools directly into your daily workflow. As a core extension for this ecosystem, the Screenshot Studio transforms KoBar into a highly capable and native visual capture and annotation utility.
Screenshot Studio is a built-in, seamless overlay tool for KoBar that brings native, multi-monitor screenshot capture directly to your fingertips. Instead of relying on external snipping tools or generic OS shortcuts, Screenshot Studio launches an instant overlay across all your active displays. It allows you to select, crop, and annotate your screen captures with texts, arrows, rectangles, and freehand drawings, seamlessly saving them to your clipboard or local system.
- Multi-Monitor Support: Automatically captures all active displays and scales them flawlessly, allowing you to snip seamlessly across your entire workspace.
- Rich Annotation Tools:
- Pen: Freehand drawing to highlight or circle items quickly.
- Rectangle & Arrow: Draw structured geometric shapes and arrows to point out important elements.
- Text: Add custom text annotations directly onto your screenshot with dynamic sizing and color options.
- Dynamic Tool Customization: Adjust the size (3 levels) and color of your active drawing tools on the fly. Fully integrated with KoBar's primary theme.
- Smart Cropping: Draggable and resizable selection box to perfectly frame exactly what you want to capture.
- Deep KoBar Integration:
- Instantly triggers from the KoBar sidebar with zero lag.
- Utilizes native Electron APIs for fast and secure screen buffer access.
- Installation: Ensure the
Screenshot Studioplugin is enabled in your KoBar plugin settings. - Capture: Click the screenshot icon in the KoBar sidebar to freeze the screen and enter the capture overlay.
- Select Region: Click and drag anywhere on your screens to create a selection box around the area you want to capture.
- Annotate: Use the floating toolbar to select your preferred tool (Pen, Arrow, Rectangle, Text) and annotate the selected region. Customize colors and stroke sizes as needed.
- Save / Copy: Finalize your capture to copy the annotated image directly to your system clipboard (and KoBar's internal clipboard slots) or save it locally.
