Your screenshots. Your Mac.

Caps works locally. We don't collect or sell your app data, and your screenshots are shared only when you choose to share them.

The app

  • No automatic uploads. Caps reads image files from the screenshot folder you choose. Caps does not upload them to us, provide cloud sync, or contact an app server.
  • No analytics or telemetry. Caps doesn't contain tracking, crash-reporting, or advertising code.
  • No accounts. There's nothing to sign up for, and Caps doesn't know who you are.
  • Local storage. Your folder permission, pins, cleared Caps, and settings are stored on your Mac. A custom background is copied into Caps' local application storage. Background presets are bundled with the app.

Your files

Caps never moves or deletes screenshots on its own. Clearing Caps and the retention setting only hide items from the list. Annotations are saved as a new file. When you choose Delete Cap, the file goes to the macOS Trash, where you can still recover it. Anything you copy, drag, or share goes only where you send it.

When a background is selected, Caps creates a separate image for copying, dragging, or sharing. These local export copies are cached for reuse; copies unused for more than seven days are eligible for cleanup the next time Caps prepares an export. Your original files are not part of that cleanup.

Other apps and services may handle images you send to them under their own privacy policies. Your system clipboard may also participate in Apple features such as Universal Clipboard, depending on your settings.

macOS permissions

You grant access by choosing your screenshot folder in the macOS folder picker. Caps remembers this permission so it can show, copy, annotate, rename, and move images to the Trash when you ask. Choose a different folder in Caps Settings to change the folder it watches. Custom backgrounds and annotation save destinations are also selected through the macOS file picker.
