How screenclip.fast Works

screenclip.fast is a Chrome browser extension that enables retroactive screen capture. Here's how it operates:

• Background Buffer: The extension silently runs in the background, keeping a rolling buffer of the last 30 seconds of your active browser tab's screen activity.
• Local Processing: All buffering and processing happens entirely within your browser. The video data never leaves your device unless you choose to share it.
• On-Demand Capture: When you press the keyboard shortcut, you can choose to save the last 5, 10, or 30 seconds as a clip.
• Instant Clipboard: Your clip is instantly copied to your clipboard, ready to paste into Slack, GitHub, Notion, or anywhere else.
• Export Options: You can export clips as GIF or MP4 format for easy sharing.

Data We Collect

We collect minimal data:

• Screen Recordings: Stored temporarily in your browser's local memory only. We never have access to this data.
• Usage Analytics: Basic, anonymous usage statistics (e.g., number of clips created) to help us improve the product. This contains no personal or screen content information.
• Account Information (Pro users): If you purchase Pro, we collect your email address for license delivery and support purposes.

Data We Don't Collect

• We never see, access, or store the contents of your screen recordings
• We don't track which websites you visit
• We don't collect any personal browsing data
• We don't sell any data to third parties

Shareable Links (Optional Feature)

If you choose to create a shareable link for a clip:

• The clip will be uploaded to our secure servers
• You'll receive a unique URL to share with others
• Shared clips are stored encrypted and can be deleted at any time
• This is entirely optional — you can always use screenclip.fast without ever uploading anything

Browser Permissions

screenclip.fast requires the following browser permissions to function:

• Tab Capture: To record the visual content of your active browser tab
• Clipboard Write: To copy clips directly to your clipboard
• Storage: To save your preferences and settings locally

These permissions are used solely for the core functionality described above.

Data Security

We take security seriously:

• All data transmission uses HTTPS encryption
• Shared clips are stored with encryption at rest
• We use industry-standard security practices
• Local buffer data is automatically cleared when you close your browser

Your Rights

You have full control over your data:

• Delete any shared clips at any time
• Request deletion of your account and associated data
• Export your data upon request
• Uninstall the extension to completely stop all data collection
