      Well…

      So what’s the catch? Well, for starters, PixelShot isn’t as private as Pixel Screenshots is. The developer says that your screenshots themselves are never uploaded to the cloud, which is good, however he says that the text from your screenshots is uploaded to the cloud so an AI model can summarize it.

      Yeah no, nobody said that. It’s not FOSS, so we can’t know that. The AI model does not even run on device.

        It still could be very privacy invasive, but since you opt-in (not opt-out) to its features, I wouldn’t consider it as invasive as microsoft’s.
