01
macOS 13+
Install Snapling correctly the first time.
Use the signed PKG, keep the app in Applications, then approve the one macOS permission Snapling needs for capture and recording.
02
Keep Snapling installed in /Applications.
03
Enable Screen Recording for Snapling and relaunch once.
Why Screen Recording is required
Snapling captures screenshots, scrolling pages, and GIF recordings locally. macOS requires Screen Recording permission before any app can read screen pixels, even when nothing is uploaded.
Local-first workflow
No account required
Privacy details
Review permissions, privacy, and terms before installing so Snapling's local-first boundaries are clear.
