What the app knows about you

Captures are held in memory while you edit them and written to a folder you choose on your own Mac. Nothing is uploaded, and the app has no code that would be able to do so — you can verify this in the source.

Text recognised through OCR and colours sampled with the picker are processed on-device using Apple's Vision framework and placed on your clipboard. They are never transmitted.

There are none. No usage statistics, no crash reporting, no identifiers, no cookies inside the app.

To check for updates, the app asks GitHub for a small release feed at raw.githubusercontent.com. That request tells GitHub your IP address and the app version, in the same way visiting any web page would. Sparkle's optional system profiling is not enabled, so no hardware or usage details are attached. Downloading an update fetches a file from GitHub Releases.

Only Screen & System Audio Recording, which macOS requires before any app may read the contents of your display. It is used solely to take the screenshot you asked for.

The site is a set of static pages hosted on Vercel. It sets no cookies and runs no analytics or tracking scripts. Vercel records standard server request logs, which include IP addresses, as part of operating the hosting service.

If any of this ever changes, it will change here first, and the commit history of the repository will show exactly when and why.
