Built for Wayland and X11, it runs locally with no network access and no telemetry. **Tools in the snap** * **Text Extractor** (Super+Shift+T): drag a box around any text on screen, even in videos and images, and it lands on your clipboard * **Color Picker** (Super+Shift+C): an eyedropper for any pixel, HEX/RGB/HSL, WCAG contrast check and history * **Smart Paste** (Super+Shift+V): paste the clipboard converted: tidy JSON, a spreadsheet range as a Markdown table, a link without tracking, PDF text without broken lines, or the text in a copied image * **QR Code** (Super+Shift+Q): read a QR code anywhere on screen, or turn text, links and Wi-Fi details into one * **Screen Ruler** (Super+Shift+R): freeze the screen and measure anything in pixels * **Zoom & Annotate** (Super+Shift+Z): freeze the screen, zoom in and draw on it with a pen, arrows, boxes and text * **Text Expansion** (Super+Shift+E): a searchable snippet picker with dates, your clipboard and fill-in fields * **Asset Compressor**: drop PNG, JPEG, WebP or MP4 files to strip metadata and shrink them * **Batch Rename**: rename many files at once with search and replace, regular expressions and numbering, with a preview and undo * **Image Resizer**: resize many pictures at once, keeping their shape, without touching the originals * **Keep Awake**: stop your computer from sleeping or locking for 30 minutes to 4 hours, or until you turn it off * **Shortcut Detective**: press any shortcut to see what owns it, find clashes, pick a free combination and change it * **What's Using This?**: see which apps keep a file, folder, drive or port busy, and close them * **Why Didn't It Sleep?**: see what keeps the computer awake, what woke it up, and how much battery it used asleep * **System Report**: your hardware explained, with driver checks, temperatures, what changed since an update, and a report that's safe to share * **GPU Tuner**: monitor NVIDIA, AMD and Intel graphics cards **Manual** The Voltkit Manual explains every tool step by step: **About the snap version** Snaps run in a sandbox that can't ask for your administrator password, change system files or read the desktop's permission store. These work only when Voltkit is installed with APT (Ubuntu, Debian) or DNF (Fedora): * changing GPU settings (power limit, fans, clocks, voltage) * Hosts & Environment (editing /etc/hosts and session environment variables) * App Permissions * typed triggers such as ;date * drive health, memory slots and firmware update checks * stopping a USB device from waking the computer Each affected page in the app says so. A few tools need a permission you connect once with sudo snap connect; the app lists the exact commands, and so does voltkit doctor.

They update automatically and roll back gracefully. Snaps are discoverable and installable from the [Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/store), an app store with an audience of millions. ### Enable snapd On Arch Linux, snap can be installed from the [Arch User Repository (AUR).](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/snapd/) The [manual build process](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_User_Repository#Installing_packages) is the Arch-supported install method for AUR packages, and you’ll need the [prerequisites](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_User_Repository#Prerequisites) installed before you can install any AUR package. You can then install snap with the following: ``` git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/snapd.git cd snapd makepkg -si ``` Once installed, the *systemd* unit that manages the main snap communication socket needs to be enabled: ``` sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.socket ``` If [AppArmor](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/AppArmor) is enabled in your system, enable the service which loads AppArmor profiles for snaps: ``` sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.apparmor.service ``` To enable *classic* snap support, enter the following to create a symbolic link between `/var/lib/snapd/snap` and `/snap`: ``` sudo ln -s /var/lib/snapd/snap /snap ``` Either log out and back in again, or restart your system, to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly. ### Install Voltkit To install Voltkit, simply use the following command: ``` sudo snap install voltkit ``` ### Other popular snaps… [See more...](https://snapcraft.io/search?categories=featured) [See more in Featured](https://snapcraft.io/search?categories=featured) ### More things to do… #### [Get the snap store](https://snapcraft.io/snap-store) Browse and find snaps from the convenience of your desktop using the snap store snap. #### [Learn more about snaps](https://snapcraft.io/docs) Interested to find out more about snaps?
