Xerahs ​

Windows macOS Linux Available

Xerahs is the most advanced screen capture tool for Windows, macOS, and Linux — ShareX reimagined with modern UI technologies, built from the ground up for cross-platform performance. Because it is ShareX-compatible, XBackBone configures it with the exact same custom-uploader file: one download and you are sharing straight to your instance.

Set up ​

  1. Sign in to your XBackBone instance.
  2. Open Integrations from your profile menu.
  3. On the Xerahs card, click Download config to get your personal .sxcu custom-uploader file.
  4. Import the .sxcu into Xerahs — it reads ShareX custom-uploader files — then select XBackBone as your active uploader.

That's it. Capture a screenshot or drop a file onto Xerahs and it uploads to your instance, copying the share link straight to your clipboard.

What the config contains ​

The generated .sxcu is a standard ShareX custom uploader, pre-filled with your instance URL and a personal API token. It targets the /api/v1/upload endpoint and is wired up as your image, text and file uploader as well as a URL shortener / sharing service, so every destination type flows through XBackBone.

On download, XBackBone mints a token granted the resource:upload and resource:deleteabilities — enough to upload new resources and remove ones you created (through the per-upload deletion URL).

Same config as ShareX

Xerahs and ShareX share the exact same custom-uploader format. A config downloaded from either card works in both apps — the only difference is the name of the token it issues, so you can tell them apart under Profile → Tokens.

Keep your token safe

The .sxcu file embeds an API token in plain text. Treat it like a password. If it leaks, revoke the token from Profile → Tokens and download a fresh config.

Troubleshooting ​

  • Uploads fail with a 401 / "Unauthenticated". The embedded token was revoked or the config is stale — download a fresh .sxcu from Integrations and re-import it.
  • Links point to the wrong host. Re-download the config after changing your instance's APP_URL; the URL is baked into the uploader at generation time.
