Screenshots are sensitive by default
Product UIs include customer names, tokens in devtools, unreleased features, and internal metrics. Routing every capture through a random web annotator expands your trust boundary for little gain.
Even "anonymous" staging environments leak roadmap details. Treat visual context like logs: minimize, then share deliberately.
What local-only means in Casso
Casso captures on device, writes a session folder under a local temp path, and stages a prompt for you to paste. It does not call an LLM and does not upload screenshots. When you paste into Claude Code, Codex, or another agent, that product's terms apply - you choose the moment of share.
That split matters: annotation tooling should not force a second cloud hop before the agent you already trust.
Practical habits
Process beats tools. Use these habits whether you use Casso or something else:
- Crop or mark only what the agent needs.
- Avoid capturing password fields and secrets panes.
- Prefer local tools for first-pass annotation.
- Know your company's policy for pasting production UI into third-party models.
- Clear temp sessions if your machine is shared or audited.
How this relates to Casso's pricing model
Casso is a one-time personal desktop license, not a hosted annotation SaaS. There is no cloud gallery of your captures to secure on our side, because we do not collect them. Read the privacy policy for account, payment, and analytics details on the website.
