Use grim once sway 1.0 is released.

Does this mean things like thehunt33r/blurred-swaylock can only work with two screens and two screenshots once grim is released in sway 1.0?

Yes. But that was already the case.

You could probably create a third-party lock screen that uses DMA-BUFs, blurs images on the GPU and then directly uses those as the background image without writing anything to disk or RAM.

Yes. But that was already the case.

That is what I realised after posting. So actually I had to replace that swaygrab with grim (and maybe appropriate command line switches and it should work?
