The macOS floating screenshot thumbnail, for Linux and Windows. Take a screenshot, drag the thumbnail into any app, and nothing piles up in your Screenshots folder.

Download

  • Windows: SnapFloat.exe below. Run it and it sits in the tray. SmartScreen may warn because the exe isn't signed: click More info → Run anyway.
  • Ubuntu / Debian (GNOME): git clone https://github.com/shaurya-8055/snapfloat && cd snapfloat && ./install.sh, then log out and back in once.

Features

  • Floating thumbnail in any corner, with smooth slide-in and fade-out animations
  • Drag & drop into any app; also copied to the clipboard for Ctrl+V
  • Auto-dismiss timer with a countdown bar (hover pauses it), or keep until closed
  • Click to open, right-click for Copy, Save, Save As, Pin, Close
  • Custom shortcuts (default Ctrl+Shift+4 region, Ctrl+Shift+3 full screen), start at login
  • Linux Wayland support: uses the system screenshot UI, plus a bundled GNOME Shell extension for corner placement

Known limitations

  • Windows support is new. Please report anything that doesn't work.
  • KDE and other Wayland desktops: thumbnails work, but they open where the desktop places them instead of in the corner.
