v0.3MAC + LINUX

Choose a package

Mac preview or Linux package.

The Mac preview is ad-hoc signed and is not Apple-notarized. macOS may ask you to approve the app in System Settings → Privacy & Security. The stable application identity keeps its original CaptureVault identifier so existing libraries and Screen Recording permission survive upgrades.

Installation

Install the preview for your desktop.

Apple Silicon Mac

Open the DMG and drag CaptureRecall into Applications. If macOS blocks the first launch, Control-click CaptureRecall, choose Open, and confirm. On the first capture, allow Screen & System Audio Recording when prompted, then restart the app if macOS asks.

Connect your hosted library

Version 0.3.5 fixes hosted restore. Update from 0.3.4 before restoring a hosted screenshot. After updating, open Settings → Optional hosted vault. Paste the Library ID and Device key from your website account, then select Connect hosted library. Choose a screenshot to back up or restore a hosted copy. Nothing uploads automatically. Keys are cleared when you leave Settings.

Ubuntu or Debian

sudo apt install ./CaptureRecall_0.3.5_amd64.deb

Portable AppImage

Capture uses the system’s XDG Desktop Portal on Linux. Portal behavior can vary by desktop environment, compositor, session type, and permission configuration. After installing, try the Linux capture, search, and reuse walkthrough.
