## Questions, answered by the maker

**Does it work offline?**
Yes. Screen capture, annotation, scrolling screenshots, beautification, pinning, and local save or copy work offline. Image-host uploads and online translation require a network connection.

**Is my data private?**
capcap has no telemetry. Screenshot history, picked colors, and image-host credentials stay on your Mac. When you choose an upload or online translation service, the content you send goes to the provider you configured. Check your image host’s public-access settings before sharing a URL.

**Is capcap free? Is there a trial?**
capcap is free and open source under the MIT license, with no time-limited trial or subscription. Optional image hosting uses your own storage account; the provider may charge for usage.

**Which Macs does it run on?**
capcap requires macOS 14 or later and supports Apple silicon and Intel Macs with a Universal build. First launch guides you through Screen Recording and Accessibility permissions. Editing a selected Finder image may also request Finder Automation permission.

**Can capcap replace Shottr or CleanShot X?**
For screenshot workflows, capcap offers window and region capture, editable annotations, scrolling screenshots, beautification, pinning, and uploads to your own image host. It is a free, open-source AppKit option; the feature sets are not identical.
