Privacy Policy
Supashot is built on a simple principle: your data stays on your device. This policy covers the Supashot macOS app and the Supashot Chrome extension.
Local-first by design
All screenshots, annotations, and library data are stored locally on your device. Nothing is uploaded to Supashot servers unless you explicitly choose to use a cloud sharing feature (coming in a future release).
No account required
Supashot does not require you to create an account, provide an email address, or authenticate with any external service to use the core application.
No tracking
We do not use analytics cookies, trackers, or third-party analytics services. We do not collect usage statistics, crash reports, or telemetry data. Neither the macOS app nor the Chrome extension sends your screenshot content or library data to us.
Chrome extension
The Supashot Chrome extension stores your screenshots, thumbnails, annotations, and library metadata in IndexedDB inside your browser profile. This data remains on your computer and is not synced to Supashot servers.
To capture pages you visit, the extension may inject a temporary overlay on the active tab so you can select a region or element. Captured images are processed locally in an offscreen document bundled with the extension. We do not receive the pages you browse or the screenshots you take.
The extension only accesses the tab you are on when you start a capture (toolbar button or keyboard shortcut). It does not read or modify pages in the background. Exporting your library as a ZIP file uses a normal browser download from Settings. Copying a screenshot to your clipboard happens locally when you choose Copy in the editor.
macOS app: OCR and search
On macOS, optical character recognition (OCR) is performed using Apple's on-device Vision framework. Your screenshot text is extracted locally and indexed in a local SQLite database. No screenshot images or extracted text are transmitted over the network.
Updates
This privacy policy may be updated from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date.
