Screen{shot,cast} and perform ImageOps on the command line 🌱 🏞️
menyoki is a screencast and screenshot utility that can also perform various image related operations such as making/splitting GIFs and modifying/analyzing/viewing image files. It aims to be a lightweight command line tool for either helping out on day-to-day life operations or complicated detail-centric issues. Originally it was designed to record/screenshot terminal windows but it can be tweaked easily for other purposes with command line arguments, environment variables, or a configuration file.
Table of Contents
menyoki requires a window system implementation of the supported platform for record and capture actions. Other features are expected to work normally since they don’t require a window system running (or grabbing a window to operate on). For example, despite the macOS is not listed as a supported platform, menyoki still can perform image operations such as edit, analyze and view if it’s compiled on macOS.

Features
Usage
| Action |
 |
| Result |
 |
Command line arguments of menyoki are designed to be as intuitive as possible. As a result of that, an action can be performed with a chain of subcommands along with the flags and options. The general prototype for the usage of command line arguments is the following:
menyoki (ACTION) (FORMAT) (OUTPUT)
The subcommand that will indicate the action is mandatory whereas format and output subcommands might be optional (or they might not exist at all). The format subcommand can be one of the supported formats and output basically corresponds to the save subcommand.
The default format is the first listed subcommand if there is not any subcommand given for specifying a format. On the other hand, save subcommand uses the “menyoki” directory in the home (or images if it exists) as the default output directory.
General 
Flags and options that will generally affect the execution of menyoki can be set before specifying the main action to perform. Then the main subcommand (action) must be specified.
menyoki [FLAGS] [OPTIONS] <SUBCOMMAND>
Arguments
FLAGS:
-h, --help Print help information
-V, --version Print version information
-v, --verbose Increase logging verbosity
-q, --quiet Do not show output
OPTIONS:

--color <HEX> Set the main color [default: 3AA431]
SUBCOMMANDS:
record Record an animation
split Split an animation into frames
make Make an animation from frames
capture Capture an image

Action |
menyoki -V |

menyoki -q -c menyoki.conf <action> |
Run in quiet mode and read the configuration from “menyoki.conf” |
Record
menyoki can record an area of a window or the whole screen and encode it as a supported format. Area selection and resize is performed with the key bindings.
A few scenarios that record action might be helpful would be:
- Record a specific area of a window
- Record for a given duration
- Record the output of a command (especially for TUI applications)
Encoding options can be changed using the arguments of the provided format. (See the output of menyoki record gif --help)

Wayland
The window system is picked at runtime: menyoki uses Wayland if WAYLAND_DISPLAY is set and X11 otherwise. Set MENYOKI_WINDOW_SYSTEM to x11 or wayland to override this, which is useful for capturing an XWayland window while a Wayland session is running.
On Wayland, outputs are captured via the wlr-screencopy protocol, so a wlroots-based compositor (such as Sway or Hyprland) is required. --root picks a whole output, --monitor selects which one and --size/--padding narrow the captured area down.
--focus captures the window that has the focus, on its own, without whatever happens to be drawn on top of it. This uses the hyprland-toplevel-export protocol together with wlr-foreign-toplevel-management, so it is only available on Hyprland; elsewhere it reports that only outputs can be captured.
Two limitations remain compared to X11:
--select and --mouse are not available, since the compositor does not let a client pick a window interactively. --focus or --root with --size cover most of that ground.- Action keys are not available, so use
--duration or press Ctrl-C to stop recording.
Key Bindings
Key bindings are only used and present while capture or record actions are performed. Essentially key bindings are for selecting capture/record areas and resizing them without any mouse interaction.
There are 3 types of key bindings in terms of performed action:
- Action keys (main action keys such as
LAlt-S, can be customized via --action-keys and --cancel-keys options)
- Cancel keys (the keys that will cancel the operation, e.g.
LControl-D)
- Miscellaneous keys (the keys that can be used for resizing the selected area such as
LAlt-[up])
| Key |
Action |
LAlt-[S/Enter] |
Start/stop recording or screenshot the selected area |
LControl-D, Escape |
Cancel the current operation |
LControl-C |
Cancel the current operation or stop recording |
LAlt-[arrow keys/hjkl] |
Increase the area padding (decrease the size of the area) |
LControl-LAlt-[arrow keys/hjkl] |
Decrease the area padding (increase the size of the area) |
LShift-LAlt-[arrow keys/hjkl] |
Reposition the selected area (move around) |
LAlt-[1-9] |
Set the speed factor of changing the area size (default: 3) |
LAlt-R |
Reset the area padding to default |
Configuration
It’s possible to override the default command line arguments with a configuration file. It can be specified via --config option or $MENYOKI_CONFIG environment variable. Also, it can be placed to a location where menyoki looks for as default:
{CONFIG_DIR}/menyoki.conf{CONFIG_DIR}/menyoki/menyoki.conf{CONFIG_DIR}/menyoki/config
{CONFIG_DIR} can be one of the following depending on the platform:
- Linux:
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME or $HOME/.config
- macOS:
$HOME/Library/Application Support
- e.g.
/Users/Orhun/Library/Application Support
- Windows:
{FOLDERID_RoamingAppData}
- e.g.
C:\Users\Orhun\AppData\Roaming

Environment Variables
Corresponding environment variables can be set for overriding the command line flags and options. The general prototype of the variables that menyoki checks are the following:
MENYOKI_{SECTION}_{ARGUMENT}=value
Examples
| Command |
Environment Variables |
menyoki --quiet |
MENYOKI_GENERAL_QUIET=true |
menyoki record gif --fps 10 save --timestamp |
MENYOKI_GIF_FPS=10 MENYOKI_SAVE_TIMESTAMP=true |
menyoki capture --size 200x300 jpg --quality 100 |
MENYOKI_CAPTURE_SIZE=200x300 MENYOKI_JPG_QUALITY=100 |
menyoki edit test.png --ratio 2.0 --filter triangle |
MENYOKI_EDIT_RATIO=2.0 MENYOKI_EDIT_FILTER=triangle |
menyoki split test.gif --dir frames/ pnm --format graymap |
MENYOKI_SPLIT_DIR=frames/ MENYOKI_PNM_FORMAT=graymap |
menyoki analyze test.png --timestamp save --date %H%M%S |
MENYOKI_ANALYZE_TIMESTAMP=true MENYOKI_SAVE_DATE=%H%M%S |
menyoki view test.png --transparent |
MENYOKI_VIEW_TRANSPARENT=true |
Roadmap
The following are the ultimate goals of the menyoki project.
Accessibility
menyoki should be packaged for other distributions and package managers (such as Nixpkgs and Homebrew) for easy access and installation.
Supported platforms list should be extended by implementing the core features of menyoki on different systems. (See #2, #4 and #5)
All the image formats that image-rs supports for encoding should be implemented in menyoki. Also, the implementation of other image and video formats should be considered for encoding the frames in record/capture action. (See supported formats)
Optimization
Encoding/decoding of some formats like GIF might be optimized for speed and efficiency. Alternative ways and options should be considered depending on the benchmarks in such cases.
Testing
menyoki should be tested against different platforms and bugs must be reported for further development and support.

About the project
Why “menyoki”?
It’s a reference to the author’s favorite character from the game Patapon 2.
Menyokki (aka Tree-Pon due to his resembling a tree) is a type of Rarepon introduced in Patapon 2. Its evolved form is Kisuk, and its ultimate form is Moriussoo. These Rarepons are green and resemble plants in various stages of development: Menyokki is a seedling, Kisuk is a sapling and Moriussoo is a full-grown tree.
The Menyokki sprite that is used as the project’s logo was originally drawn by OwocekTV for the fan made game Patafour. He is also the creator and lead developer of Patafour and he is working on bringing the long awaited 4th installment of the Patapon franchise to life with the rest of the team.
Thanks to owodzeg for his hard work on Patafour and the help with the menyoki logo. Kudos!
