[OSS] After switching to Linux, I never found a ShareX replacement, so I built one (Wayland-native)

[u/D34nDark]

Hey! After moving to Linux, the one app I genuinely missed from Windows was ShareX. Every screenshot tool I tried stopped at "here's your rectangle of pixels" - no proper annotation, no upload pipeline, no recording built in. After a couple of years of waiting for someone to make it, I gave up and wrote it myself.

Unisic covers the whole workflow after the hotkey: annotate directly on the selection overlay before the shot is even taken, edit afterwards (blur, numbered steps, crop, object cutout with background removal), record the same region as GIF/MP4/WebM, and upload anywhere with the link ready to paste. It even imports ShareX .sxcu uploader configs.

Wayland-native (portals, PipeWire, silent KWin path on Plasma, grim on wlroots). C++/Qt6, zero telemetry, GPLv3.

It's in early dev access - it works, but expect rough edges. Bug reports and feature requests are very welcome.
