About Flameshot
Flameshot is a free, open source screenshot tool for Windows, macOS and Linux. It lets you mark up a capture before you save or share it.
What it does
You select an area of the screen, and Flameshot opens an on-screen editor. You can add arrows, text, blurred or pixelated areas, highlights, shapes and numbered counters. It also has a command line interface, so you can script captures or attach them to keyboard shortcuts. The settings dialog lets you change the interface colors, shortcuts and how images are saved.
