hyprquickshot is a screenshot utility for Hyprland built with Quickshell. It provides a graphical capture interface with smooth animations, giving users a more polished workflow than a simple shell script or basic command-line frontend.
The software relies on grim for screen capture, integrates wl-clipboard for clipboard operations, and uses ImageMagick as part of its dependency set. It can be launched from the terminal or bound directly to keys in a Hyprland configuration.
This is free and open source software.
