Why does it remind me of Fossify?
Flameshot is great, I use it every day at work and home. The integrated editing/annoation/drawing functions are superb.
Regular user of sharex here who tried flameshot. Sharex has it beaten by a mile in terms of both features and customization.
Only reason to use flameshot is if you’re not on windows, since sharex is not available for Linux or MacOS.
A great tool, wish they had a feature that would allow you to add plugins/add-ons such as OCR, GIF Maker etc. Similar to what FlowLauncher offers plugins wise. (FlowLauncher is a FOSS system wide search engine for windows).
It’s a shame this doesn’t work nicely with multiple displays, it always picks the monitor I don’t have the window on I want to capture.
For me it captures all the screens and let’s me pick the region, even when crossing over two screens.
Which OS are you using? And if Linux, are you running Wayland or X?
You might need some workarounds for it to work. I’m using Sway as my window manager, where the missing piece war the “for_window” bit on this page.

Depending on your desktop environment/window manager, you might need some different workarounds.
I’ve never been able to get this to work in a stock debain 12 / gnome environment.
