A lightweight tool to upload MacOS screenshots to an S3-compatible provider.

Install with brew:

$ brew tap elnoro/tap
$ brew install foxyshot

Install from source:

$ git clone https://github.com/elnoro/foxyshot.git
$ cd foxyshot && make install

1. Change the default MacOS screenshot location to a designated folder, e. g. ~/Desktop/Screenshots
2. Run foxyshot configure (it creates a config file in ~/.config/foxyshot/config.json; see the format here). For S3 credentials, refer to your S3 provider.

$ brew services start foxyshot

$ brew services stop foxyshot

$ foxyshot start

The program starts in the background. To stop it, run:

$ foxyshot stop

If you decide to keep the original screenshot files (setting "removeOriginals" to false), on MacOS you will eventually run into a "too many open files" error.

At this point, either set a higher ulimit or remove the old files manually.

This is because of kqueue, see more technical details here.
