Flameshot isn't great on macOS, does anyone know of a good open source alternative they would recommend?

The app has a constant item on the bar at the bottom. Quitting that quits the whole application, I couldn't find a setting to change this behaviour. But I could live with that if it wasn't for it somehow switching desktops when you start taking a screenshot. It switches desktop, goes back to the main one, then starts the set up. Of course that also means it takes a couple of seconds before the screenshot gets taken.
Funny, I found flameshot years ago looking for a Linux to Skitch. What’s lacking in the built-in tool?
I'm unsure what Flameshot on macOS has to do with Flameshot Linux? I used to use Flameshot on Linux, and it works great, though I've always found the built-in screenshot software for Linux good enough. The application doesn't work as smoothly on macOS and I wouldn't need a tool for screenshots if the built-in tooling was any good. It's like it was designed by someone who had created a screenshot for the first time in their life.
Hard to say without knowing what your needs are. What’s wrong with using macOS’ native tools? They work great not only for capturing but for annotation. What exactly are you looking for?
