The first argument picks the Omasnap mode (`smart|region|windows|fullscreen|scroll`).

The first argument picks the Omasnap mode (`smart|region|windows|fullscreen|scroll`). By default, a capture copies to the clipboard and shows a preview for 10 seconds.

Hit `Print Screen` and Omasnap captures the focused monitor before its overlay appears, so nothing shifts under you while you aim. Drag a freeform region, or use the tabs across the top to switch between Region, Scrolling Region, Window, and Fullscreen capture. Changed your mind? Hit `Print Screen` again to dismiss Omasnap.

Hit `Print Screen` and Omasnap captures the focused monitor before its overlay appears, so nothing shifts under you while you aim.

After you select an area, Omasnap opens its annotation editor. It can draw arrows, lines, shapes, highlights, numbered markers, text, and secure redactions; crop or cut out part of the image; OCR its text; and add a backdrop. Press `Enter` to copy and save the finished PNG, `Ctrl + C` to copy it without saving, `Ctrl + S` to save it without copying, or `P` to pin it above your windows.

From the terminal, `omarchy screenshot` opens the same overlay, and you can choose its starting mode: `omarchy capture screenshot region`, `windows`, `fullscreen`, or `scroll`. A second argument of `copy` or `save` bypasses the annotation editor and sends the shot straight to that destination.
