Privacy
Your captures stay on your PC.
This page describes the downloadable apps published here. The browser tools at tools.beannest.net have their ownprivacy page.
What the apps store locally
- Screenshots are written as PNG files to
Pictures\BeanNest Capture(or the folder you pick in Settings). Edited captures keep an untouched original and an editable annotation file in a.beannest-capturefolder beside them. - Settings, including your hotkey and library folder, are stored in
%APPDATA%\BeanNest Capture. - By default a new capture is also placed on the Windows clipboard. If you use Windows clipboard history or sync across devices, Windows stores that copy under your Windows settings, not this app.
What the apps do not do
- No account, sign-in or cloud storage.
- No upload of screenshots, settings or usage data.
- No analytics or telemetry.
- No advertising.
The one network request
When you press Check for updates, or once a day when the app starts, it fetches a small manifest fromdownloads.beannest.net to compare versions. If a newer version exists and you press Update now, it downloads that installer, verifies its published SHA-256, and runs it. Nothing about your captures or usage is sent with that request.
Removing your data
Uninstalling removes the program and the settings folder. Your PNG files stay in your Pictures folder until you delete them. The app's cleanup screen can delete captures by age or by count, and Delete removes the file plus its annotations immediately.
