Privacy Policy — Snapshot X

Effective date: July 5, 2026 · Developer: Abdulaziz Alateeqi · snapshotx@protonmail.com

Snapshot X is designed to be private by default. This policy explains what the app does and does not do with your information.

The short version

Snapshot X does not collect, transmit, sell, or share any personal data. It makes no network connections. Everything the app does happens locally on your Mac, and your screenshots and recordings never leave your device unless you choose to share them.

Information we collect

None. Snapshot X has no account system, no analytics, no advertising, no tracking, and no crash-reporting or telemetry. We operate no server that receives data from the app.

How the app uses your Mac

All of the following happens entirely on-device:

Screenshots & screen recordings. When you trigger a capture, the app records the screen region you select (via Apple’s ScreenCaptureKit) and writes the image or video to a folder on your Mac that you control. Files are stored only on your Mac.
Microphone (optional). Captured only when you enable “Record Microphone,” and written solely into that local recording file. Never streamed or uploaded.
System audio (optional). When enabled, written into the local recording file only.
Text recognition (OCR). Performed on-device by Apple’s Vision framework; recognized text is placed on your clipboard. Nothing is sent anywhere.
Clipboard. When you copy a capture, the app writes that image or text to your system clipboard.

Data sharing

We share no data with third parties, because the app collects none. The only third-party code is the open-source KeyboardShortcuts library, which manages shortcuts locally and makes no network connections.

Permissions the app requests

Screen & System Audio Recording — required by macOS to capture your screen and, if enabled, system audio.
Microphone — requested only if you enable microphone recording.
File access — to save captures to your chosen folder and let you open or export them.

Review or revoke these any time in System Settings → Privacy & Security.

Children’s privacy

Snapshot X collects no data from anyone, including children.

Payments

Snapshot X is a paid app sold through the Apple App Store. All purchases, billing, and refunds are handled by Apple; we do not receive or process your payment information.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, we will update the effective date above and post the revised policy at this URL.
