Been awhile since I saw a thread like this and they're always good for at least one or two things I've never heard of before. Bonus points if the software is open source and cross platform. Extra bonus points if you link to where we can see it/get it.

My contribution: Destiny which is an anonymous, P2P, E2EE file sharing app - its basically a GUI for a Magic Wormhole implementation. Works on Linux (tarball or appimage), Win, Mac, Android (inc f-droid) and iOS. Only downside is it's not been updated for 2 years.

Greenshot is free, open-source, and the built-in image editor is perfect (for my use-case, ymmv). ShareX is also FOSS but more well-known.

I used to use Greenshot but switched over to Flameshot. Also Free software, but has better and easier editing tools. The numbered arrows are so handy.

Screen2Gif is super useful when trying to show someone how to do something without doing a zoom or screen share. And gifs post in slack really well.

Another vote for Greenshot, I use it nearly daily for my work.

The last version on the website is from 2017. I wonder what's going on? The repo seems to be alive. I used it for years but switched recently to ShareX since Greenshot GUI can't really handle high screen resolution

Edit: Just checked the Blog. They didn't had time in the last years but it seems to pick up speed again now. A new version is coming.

Yeah, it's been solid/stable but no new developments until 1.3 is coming. You can download the pre-release version if you want to try it again, because that version has zoom options. I imagine that's what you missed, unless you meant something else with older versions not handling high res well
