+**Project Overview: Bread Screenshot System**
+
+### Goal
+Add a maintainable, automated system to generate high-quality screenshots/renders of **all major UI views** across the Bread ecosystem. This will dramatically speed up UI development, visual regression testing, documentation, and marketing.
+
+### Scope
+
+**In Scope:**
+- Automated screenshot generation for all major GUI components
+- Support for different themes (pywal accents, light/dark if added later)
+- Consistent naming and output structure
+- Easy-to-run command (`bread capture --all` or similar)
+- Integration with development workflow and CI (optional)
+
+**Out of Scope (Phase 1):**
+- Video/GIF capture
+- Full automated visual diffing (can be Phase 2)
+
+### Target Apps / Views
+
+1. **breadbar**
+   - Main bar (all placements)
+   - Control panel (full + sections)
+   - WiFi popover, media popover, etc.
+   - Notifications
+
+2. **breadman**
+   - All sidebar views (All, Upcoming, Todo, Reminder, etc.)
+   - Note cards in different states
+   - Editor / create flow
+
+3. **breadbox**
+   - Main launcher view
+   - Different contexts
+
+4. **bos-settings**
+   - All major panels
+
+5. **breadpad** (capture popup)
+
+6. **breadlock** (lock screen states)
+
+7. **Widgets** (test module that renders many widget examples)
+
+### Technical Approach (Most Idiomatic)
+
+**Core Components:**
+
+1. **Shared Library** (`bread-screenshots` crate in bread-ecosystem)
+   - Common screenshot utilities
+   - Window finding / targeting logic (using `gtk` or `grim`)
+   - Theme forcing
+
+2. **Per-App Screenshot Mode**
+   - Add `--screenshot <view>` flag to each GTK app
+   - Special runtime mode that opens the desired view and calls capture after render
+
+3. **Orchestrator**
+   - A small Rust binary (`bread-capture`) or bash + Rust hybrid
+   - Launches each app with proper flags, waits, captures, saves
+
+4. **Output Structure**
+   ```

+
+### Recommended Implementation Steps
+
+1. Create `bread-screenshots` crate in bread-ecosystem
+2. Add screenshot support to the most important apps first (breadman + breadbar)
+3. Build the orchestrator tool
+4. Add `bread capture` subcommand to the CLI
+5. Document usage + add to CONTRIBUTING.md
+
+### Benefits
+
+- Much faster UI iteration
+- Visual regression testing
+- Always up-to-date marketing/docs screenshots
+- Easier contributor onboarding for UI work
+- Professional polish for the project
