40
+ **Fast Windows screenshot tool for AI coding agents**
41
+
42
+ `appsnap` is a simple, fast CLI tool for capturing screenshots of Windows application windows. Perfect for AI agents that need to verify UI changes during development iterations.
43
+
44
+ ## ✨ Features
45
+
46
+ - 🎯 **Window-specific capture** - Target apps by name with fuzzy matching
47
+ - � **Bulk capture** - Screenshot all windows at once for testing
48
+ - 🚀 **Fast** - Screenshots in ~0.1-0.3 seconds
49
+ - 🤖 **Agent-friendly** - JSON output and stdout paths for easy parsing
50
+ - 📁 **Smart defaults** - Temp directory with auto-cleanup
51
+ - 🔍 **List windows** - See all capturable windows
52
+ - 🎨 **DPI-aware** - Handles high-DPI displays correctly
53
+ - 🔢 **Duplicate handling** - Auto-numbers windows with identical titles
54
+
55
+ ## 🚀 Quick Start
56
+
57
+ ### Installation
58
+
59
+ ```bash
60
+ # Install from PyPI with uvx (recommended)
61
+ uvx appsnap
62
+
63
+ # Or install as a tool with uv
64
+ uv tool install appsnap
65
+
66
+ # Or with pipx
67
+ pipx install appsnap
68
+
69
+ # Install from GitHub (development version)
70
+ uv tool install git+https://github.com/detroittommy879/appsnap.git
71
+
72
+ # Development mode (local testing)
73
+ git clone https://github.com/detroittommy879/appsnap.git
74
+ cd appsnap
75
+ uv venv
76
+ uv pip install -e .
77
+ ```
78
+
79
+ ### Usage
80
+
81
+ **Option 1: After activating venv**
82
+
83
+ ```bash
84
+ # Activate the virtual environment first
85
+ .venv\Scripts\activate # Windows
86
+ # source .venv/bin/activate # Linux/Mac
87
+
88
+ # Then use appsnap directly
89
+ appsnap --list
90
+ appsnap "Visual Studio Code"
91
+ ```
92
+
93
+ **Option 2: Using uv run (no activation needed)**
94
+
95
+ ```bash
96
+ # Run from within the appsnap directory
97
+ cd appsnap
98
+ uv run appsnap --list
99
+ uv run appsnap "Chrome" --output screenshot.png
100
+ ```
101
+
102
+ **Common Commands:**
103
+
104
+ ```bash
105
+ # List all capturable windows
106
+ appsnap --list
107
+
108
+ # Capture a window (saves to temp directory)
109
+ appsnap "Visual Studio Code"
110
+
111
+ # Capture with custom output path
112
+ appsnap "Chrome" --output screenshot.png
113
+
114
+ # JSON output for agents
115
+ appsnap "Notepad" --json
116
+ # {"path": "C:\\Temp\\appsnap\\appsnap_20260202_153045.png", "window": "Notepad", "bbox": [100, 200, 800, 600]}
117
+
118
+ # Adjust fuzzy matching threshold (0-100, default 70)
119
+ appsnap "VS" --threshold 60
120
+
121
+ # Capture ALL windows to a folder (great for testing!)
122
+ appsnap --all ./screenshots
123
+
124
+ # Capture all with JSON summary
125
+ appsnap --all ./test-screens --json
126
+ ```
127
+
128
+ ## 🤖 AI Agent Integration
129
+
130
+ ### Claude Desktop Skill
131
+
132
+ Add to your agent prompt or skill:
133
+
134
+ ```
135
+ When you need to verify UI changes, use: appsnap "App Name" --json
136
+ Parse the JSON output to get the screenshot path and window metadata.
137
+ ```
138
+
139
+ ### Python Integration
140
+
141
+ ```python
142
+ import subprocess
143
+ import json
144
+
145
+ result = subprocess.run(
146
+ ["appsnap", "Chrome", "--json"],
147
+ capture_output=True,
148
+ text=True
149
+ )
150
+ data = json.loads(result.stdout)
151
+ screenshot_path = data["path"]
152
+ ```
153
+
154
+ ### PowerShell Integration
155
+
156
+ ```powershell
157
+ $result = appsnap "VSCode" --json | ConvertFrom-Json
158
+ Write-Host "Screenshot: $($result.path)"
159
+ ```
160
+
161
+ ## 📖 CLI Options
162
+
163
+ ```
164
+ positional arguments:
165
+ window_name Window title to search for (fuzzy matching)
166
+
167
+ options:
168
+ -h, --help Show this help message and exit
169
+ -l, --list List all capturable windows
170
+ -a DIR, --all DIR Capture all windows to specified directory
171
+ -o PATH, --output PATH
172
+ Output file path (default: temp directory)
173
+ -t N, --threshold N Fuzzy match threshold 0-100 (default: 70)
174
+ -j, --json Output JSON with path and metadata
175
+ ```
176
+
177
+ ### Bulk Capture Example
178
+
179
+ The `--all` flag is perfect for quickly testing that all windows capture correctly:
180
+
181
+ ```bash
182
+ # Capture all windows to a test folder
183
+ uv run appsnap --all ./test-captures
184
+
185
+ # Output:
186
+ # Capturing 42 window(s) to C:\path\to\test-captures...
187
+ #
188
+ # [OK] Visual Studio Code
189
+ # [OK] Chrome - Google Search
190
+ # [OK] Task Manager
191
+ # [OK] Settings
192
+ # [OK] PowerShell_1 # Auto-numbered duplicate
193
+ # [OK] PowerShell_2 # Auto-numbered duplicate
194
+ # ...
195
+ #
196
+ # Complete: 40 successful, 2 failed
197
+ # Screenshots saved to: C:\path\to\test-captures
198
+ ```
199
+
200
+ Windows with the same title automatically get numbered (e.g., `PowerShell_1.png`, `PowerShell_2.png`).
201
+
202
+ ## 🛠️ How It Works
203
+
204
+ 1. **DPI Awareness** - Sets process DPI awareness for correct scaling on high-DPI displays
205
+ 2. **Window Enumeration** - Uses Win32 API to enumerate all visible, non-minimized windows
206
+ 3. **Fuzzy Matching** - Finds windows using `fuzzywuzzy` for flexible name matching
207
+ 4. **Direct Window Capture** - Uses Win32 `PrintWindow` API to capture window content directly (works even when partially occluded)
208
+ 5. **Output** - Saves to temp or custom location, prints path to stdout for easy agent parsing
209
+
210
+ ## 🔧 Development
211
+
212
+ ```bash
213
+ # Clone and install dev dependencies
214
+ git clone <repo>
215
+ cd appsnap
216
+ uv pip install -e ".[dev]"
217
+
218
+ # Run tests
219
+ uv run pytest
220
+
221
+ # Run with local changes
222
+ uv run appsnap --list
223
+ ```
224
+
225
+ ## 🐛 Troubleshooting
226
+
227
+ ### "No window found matching..."
228
+
229
+ - Use `appsnap --list` to see exact window titles
230
+ - Try lowering the threshold: `--threshold 60`
231
+ - Make sure the window is visible (not minimized)
232
+
233
+ ### Screenshots are blank, wrong window, or multiple windows
234
+
235
+ **v0.1.1 Fix:** Switched to Win32 PrintWindow API for direct window content capture.
236
+
237
+ This method captures the actual window content, not screen regions, so it:
238
+
239
+ - Works correctly on multi-monitor setups
240
+ - Captures partially occluded windows
241
+ - Handles DPI scaling properly
242
+
243
+ If you still have issues:
244
+
245
+ - Ensure the window is not minimized (minimized windows cannot be captured)
246
+ - Some apps (especially GPU-accelerated ones) may not respond to PrintWindow correctly
247
+ - Try bringing the window to foreground if capture fails
248
+
249
+ ### DPI/Scaling issues
250
+
251
+ The tool automatically handles DPI awareness. If you see incorrect sizing:
252
+
253
+ - Ensure Windows display scaling is consistent
254
+ - Check that the app respects DPI settings
