Questions, answered plainly.

Something else? hello@screenmac.app

Can I download Screenmac today?
Yes. Version 0.2.0 is a free beta. Install it with one line in Terminal or download the zip. It isn't notarized by Apple yet, so the first launch of a downloaded copy needs an extra click in System Settings.
Do I have to allow Screen Recording again after updating?
Sometimes, once. Builds aren't signed with an Apple Developer ID yet, so macOS can treat an update as a new app and the old switch silently stops applying. The installer clears the old entry so macOS asks again. If captures ever fail, choose Fix Screen Recording Permission… from the menu bar icon.
Is it safe to paste a curl command into Terminal?
It's worth checking first, and you can: the whole script is about 70 lines. It downloads the latest release from GitHub, checks it against its published SHA-256, copies Screenmac into Applications and resets only Screenmac's own Screen Recording entry. It never asks for your password.
Which Macs does it run on?
Any Mac on macOS 14 Sonoma or later. One download runs natively on both Apple silicon and Intel. Capture uses Apple's ScreenCaptureKit.
Are my screenshots uploaded anywhere?
No. The Mac app saves captures to a folder on your Mac and has no upload feature. The editor on this site draws in your browser. Images you open in it are never sent to a server.
Is blur safe for passwords and card numbers?
Use Redact for anything secret. It replaces the pixels with solid black in the exported file. Blur and pixelate also change the exported pixels, but a heavy blur of short text can sometimes be guessed, so they're better for faces and background details.
Why does macOS ask for Screen Recording permission?
macOS requires it before any app can read the screen, even for a single screenshot. If it's off, Screenmac tells you how to turn it on and doesn't pretend a capture happened.
Will there be a paid version?
Probably, for features like share links and scrolling capture. None of those are built, nothing is for sale, and the beta stays free.
