A few useful details.

Shnapp saves its library and preferences in your Windows user folder, separate from the app files.

How Shnapp handles your data
Does Shnapp need an account?

No. Capturing, editing, copying, and saving do not require an account.

Where are my captures stored?

Direct-download editions keep your library and settings under %LOCALAPPDATA%\Shnapp by default. The Microsoft Store edition uses its own Windows app-data folder. Quit a direct-download copy before opening the Store edition for the first time so it can copy your existing library. Your original files stay in place. PNGs you save elsewhere go to the location you choose. See the privacy details.

How do updates work?

Direct ZIP copies check for a stable GitHub release at most once a day. Shnapp verifies and prepares a newer version in the background, then uses it on your next restart. You can check or restart from Settings → About & Updates. Copies installed before v1.0.4 need one manual ZIP replacement to gain this feature; the local library stays in your Windows user folder. Scoop, WinGet, and Chocolatey copies use their package managers, with an update action in Shnapp. A Store copy uses Microsoft Store updates.

What if my capture contains sensitive information?

Use opaque Cover before copying, saving, or sharing the finished image. Blur and Pixelate are visual obscuring tools and may leave details recognizable. Your editable original stays in your local library.
