Ginj

An open source multi-platform screen capture and recording tool for simple "capture / annotate / share" workflow. Ginj was inspired by Jing (now discontinued), but although there are similarities in the way both tools behave, Ginj is not Jing.

What is Ginj?

Ginj is an open source multi-platform screen capture and recording tool. Its unobtrusive user interface and no-nonsense "capture / annotate / share" workflow is hard to beat. Ginj might remind you of a free tool called Jing, that Techsmith discontinued in July 2020. But although there are similarities in the way both tools behave, Ginj is not Jing. The main differences are:

  • It's all open-source.
  • Ginj supports Dropbox and Google Photos (more to come).
  • Ginj will never be "discontinued".
  • A few new features could be added, but I really want to stick to the simple UI I love.
  • Ginj is written in Java.
