MycoCap

Windows screen capture

MycoCap

A tiny capture tool that sleeps in your system tray and turns any slice of your screen into a clean, annotated, shareable image.

What it is

A capture tool that stays out of the way

MycoCap has no main window. It lives in the notification area, wakes on a hotkey, and hands you three things: fast capture, a real annotation editor, and one-click sharing.

History, OCR, redaction, export pipelines and scripting are all there when you reach for them — and quiet when you don't.

  • Summon it from the tray menu, a hotkey of its own (every capture verb gets a row in Settings → Hotkeys), or a delay of three, five or ten seconds.
  • Annotate on a tool strip beside the canvas.
  • Send it to a file, the clipboard, a printer, an email, a webhook, or a Windows share target.

Highlights

Capture

Seven ways in: region, window (point at it, or pick from a list under More), full screen, last-used region, an image from the clipboard, copy text straight off the screen, or a scrolling capture.

  • Hotkeys
  • Timed capture delay
  • Tray menu

Annotate

Arrows, lines, shapes with corner-radius rectangles, text, speech bubbles, step labels, highlighter, freehand, emoji and crop on a tool strip beside the canvas — plus blur covers, a solid irreversible Redact, align and group, and an element list that can hide or lock each annotation.

  • Blur & pixelize
  • Smart redaction
  • Editable layers

Share & export

The post-capture toast lands with Open in editor, Copy and Save as file; More holds the extra actions for the current destination, such as Cover sensitive text, Upload and Close. Editor export adds file, clipboard, printer, email, webhook and a Windows share target.

  • Toast actions
  • OCR
  • Webhooks

Find & keep

Capture history holds up to 100 grabs once you tick “Keep a history of recent captures” in the first-run wizard — it starts unticked. Search it, reopen it as a flat image, pin it past the rolling limit or upload it again.

The privacy promise

No telemetry, ever. MycoCap touches the network only for update checks, diagnostics you explicitly export, destinations you explicitly choose, and remote images referenced by pasted or dragged content — fetched only after a per-paste consent prompt. EXIF and GPS metadata are stripped on export by default and orientation is baked into the pixels. Webhook, email and Windows share destinations show a review dialog before anything leaves the machine (when the review step is on, the default).
