Shared on request,not on a button.
sharegrab is a tool I built for my own Mac. There is no public download and no account sign-up. If you want it, write to me and I will send you a build, personally, with instructions.
What you receive
- A disk image with sharegrab.app, built from the current source with the standard build script.
- The SHA-256 of that image in the same message, so you can check that what you opened is what I sent.
- A short note on how to open it, because macOS will ask (see below).
Requirements
| Item | Value |
|---|---|
| System | macOS 14 Sonoma or newer |
| Chip | Apple Silicon (the build is arm64 only) |
| Size | a few megabytes, native SwiftUI, no Electron, no bundled browser |
| Permissions | Screen Recording. Microphone only when you record with sound. |
| Network | connects to sharegrab.mrb.pl only |
| Account | invitation only, by email address, login with a code sent by email |
What macOS will say on first launch
The app is signed with my own certificate, not with an Apple Developer ID, and it is not notarised. That is a deliberate choice for a private tool, and it means Gatekeeper shows "Apple could not verify" the first time. On current macOS there is no right-click shortcut any more: open System Settings, go to Privacy & Security, scroll down and click Open Anyway next to sharegrab. You do this once.
After that the app asks for Screen Recording. Without it there is nothing to capture, so it opens the right panel for you.
Why not a public download
Three reasons, in order. It is a tool for one person and a few people I know, not a product. A public download without notarisation would put that "could not verify" dialog in front of strangers, which is not how I want to greet anyone. And a public download changes what this is legally, from a private tool into a distributed one, which I am not doing without doing it properly.
What it never does
- No analytics, no crash reporting, no usage statistics.
- No update checks. When there is a new build, I will tell you.
- No contact with any host other than sharegrab.mrb.pl.
- No upload without the Redaction Firewall sheet unless you switch it off yourself.
