| 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. | The maker says Snapmark runs locally with no network calls, telemetry, or accounts, and only reads and writes the clipboard. |
| Purpose | ApexShot is an open-source Linux app for capturing screenshots, annotating images, recording the screen, extracting text with OCR, and detecting QR codes. | Snapmark annotates screenshots before you paste them into AI chats. |
