Screenbase

A very simple tool that monitors your desktop for new screenshots, moves them to your public Keybase filesystem, and copies the link to your clipboard.

Works on macOS and (probably) Linux.

Dependencies

On macOS, install terminal-notifier from homebrew to have notifications when complete.

Installation

Simply:

$ pip install screenbase

Usage

By default, screenbase watches your ~/Desktop directory for files matching a regex tailored to macOS screenshot filenames (Screen Shot 2017-03-09 at 5.29.50 PM.png). This regex is not configurable at the moment, but the watch directory is via the -d flag.

Similarly, screenbase uses your current username (via Python's getpass.getuser()) as your keybase username by default, which it uses to move files into your kbfs public folder and generate the URL to it. This can be configured via the -u flag.
