Five small native-Wayland tools for Sway — picker, Alt-Tab switcher, screenshot/record, inspect & annotate (new, beta-testers welcome)
First time posting here, so go easy on me 🙂
I started with a screencast-portal window picker for Sway because the existing choosers didn't fit how I work — then got a little carried away. It's now wlr-utils, five small tools that all run on your Sway setup, sharing one zero-copy capture engine (no XWayland):
- wlr-chooser + wlr-switcher — portal picker & live Alt-Tab/exposé, with thumbnails
- wlr-peek — colour picker, loupe, OCR, live PiP mirror, visual grep
- wlr-shot — screenshots + recording (H.264, GIF/WebP, system audio, NVENC/VAAPI)
- wlr-draw — draw/annotate on screen, gromit-mpx-style
Rust, themeable, 13 languages. It's young and I'd love feedback from other Sway configs.
