wayscriber provides live screen annotation for Linux Wayland, with a drawing layer activated by a keybind.
About wayscriber
wayscriber is a live screen annotation tool for Linux Wayland, written in Rust. A keybind places a drawing layer over any application for annotating, presenting, zooming and capturing, which can then be hidden with Esc. It includes a pen, highlighter, shapes, text, boards with pages, zoom with lock and pan, OCR text copy, and screen capture with PDF export. It supports Hyprland, Sway, River, Wayfire, Niri, COSMIC and KDE Plasma, with limits on GNOME, and light passthrough requires a layer-shell compositor.
