## What Supashot is (quotable definition)

Supashot is a free, local-first screenshot and video recording tool for Google Chrome (also works on Arc, Brave, Edge, Opera, Vivaldi — any Chromium browser). It captures webpages, lets you annotate, records screen + webcam + microphone to local WebM, and stores everything in the browser's local IndexedDB. Screenshots never leave the device unless the user explicitly exports/shares them.
