ScreenshotMaker is a native macOS and iOS app for designing App Store preview screenshots. Your privacy matters. This policy explains exactly what data ScreenshotMaker handles, where it goes, and how to control it.
ScreenshotMaker does not require an account. It does not collect personal information, does not use advertising or analytics SDKs, and does not perform any cross-app tracking. The developer has no servers and receives no data from your use of the app.
Everything you create in ScreenshotMaker stays on your devices and in your own iCloud account. This includes projects, imported screenshots, themes, and exports. The following data is stored locally and, when iCloud Documents is enabled, synced through your private iCloud container:
This data is visible only to you, within your own Apple ID's iCloud account. The developer cannot access it.
ScreenshotMaker uses Apple's iCloud Documents (ubiquity container) so your project files sync across your Mac, iPad, and iPhone. Sync runs entirely through Apple's iCloud infrastructure; no third-party service is involved. You can manage or remove this data at any time from your device's iCloud settings.
ScreenshotMaker may request permission to read images from your Photo Library so you can import existing screenshots into a project, and to save exported images back to your Photo Library if you choose. Photo access is only used for these explicit user-initiated actions. No images are accessed or read otherwise, and nothing from your library is sent off your device.
When you import a screenshot or export to a local folder, the app uses Apple's standard file picker. It can only read and write files and folders you explicitly select. On macOS, a folder you approve is remembered as a security-scoped bookmark so the app can use it again without asking each time. An approval covers that folder for any later action, including one an AI assistant asks for, and it lasts until you remove the app.
All rendering, layout, and export happens on your device. The app reaches the network in three cases, all of them started by you:
On macOS, ScreenshotMaker can let an AI assistant work on your projects through the Model Context Protocol. This is off until you turn it on in Settings, and it matters for your privacy, so it is worth being precise about:
If you use the upload or listing text features, you add your own App Store Connect API key. The private .p8 file is stored in your Mac's Keychain and never in a project or in iCloud. The key ID and issuer ID are kept in local app preferences. The app uses the key only to sign requests to Apple on your behalf, and you can remove it at any time from Settings, which deletes it from the Keychain.
The app does not use advertising networks, analytics SDKs, or cross-app tracking SDKs of any kind.
