| Spec score · Screen Capture Software | 8.8 (#3) | 7.7 (#30) |
| Integrations | The GNOME Shell extension is installed automatically when applicable and provides preview windows and recording overlays. | Optional cloud uploads use a Neon project that the user deploys and connects; Lenscap does not provide a hosted backend. |
| Privacy | The privacy policy says captures remain on the device unless users choose to share them, and that screenshots, recordings, clipboard content, keystrokes, and captured media are not collected. | Without a connected personal cloud, capture data stays local; the project says it has no analytics or telemetry. |
| Purpose | ApexShot is an open-source Linux app for capturing screenshots, annotating images, recording the screen, extracting text with OCR, and detecting QR codes. | Lenscap is an open-source macOS screenshot and screen-recording app that saves captures locally and offers an optional personal cloud library. |
| Recording | Screen recordings can be saved as MP4 or GIF with optional audio, a countdown, and cursor capture. | Screen recordings can be saved as H.264 MP4 with optional system audio, while GIF recordings have a 30-second cap and a 960-pixel maximum long side. |
