Nothing is uploaded: captures stay on the machine and the client receives file:// links to them. The author is explicit that it does not do OCR, drive the UI or expose system control, and on platforms other than macOS and Linux the tools return capture_unsupported_on_platform rather than a picture.
A local screenshot server, a single binary over stdio, that captures the desktop and returns file:// resource links plus structured metadata.
- The whole screen, or a rectangle on a monitor (capture_screen, capture_monitor_region, capture_rect)
- The active window, or the window under the cursor (capture_active_window, capture_cursor_window)
- The region around the cursor (capture_cursor_region)
- The most recent capture fetched again without taking a new one (get_latest_capture)
- Captures kept on the machine as managed image artifacts, handed to the client as file:// links with metadata
The zeuxis binary, from cargo install zeuxis, Homebrew or a GitHub release. On macOS it needs Screen Recording permission, and Accessibility permission for the cursor-based tools. Linux is best effort and depends on the desktop environment and compositor.
One command — cargo install zeuxis
