Use Undo for the last annotation or Clear to remove current markup.
Choose Copy Edited for the clipboard or Save Edited to write an edited PNG.
The image may be scaled visually to fit the editor window, but editing, copying, and saving continue to use the screenshot's full backing resolution.
Privacy & storage
The application is designed as a local tool. Screenshot files, settings, logs, and related runtime data stay underneath the tool's own folder.
CapturesData/captures/ stores raw captures and edited images.
SettingsData/settings.json stores the tool's local preferences.
LogsData/Screenshot.log stores local diagnostic messages.
No account requiredThe screenshot workflow itself does not require a TheTechDad1027 account or cloud sign-in.
The interface is rendered through a local Brave app-mode window, while capture and window management are handled locally through PowerShell, GNOME Screenshot, and X11 integration.
