Does Frayo send my screenshots anywhere?

No. Your captures, the text read from them and the secret checks all stay on your Mac. The only network request the app makes is to check your licence key. Privacy and permissions

So it can see your screen when you capture. Turn it on in System Settings › Privacy & Security › Screen & System Audio Recording, then quit and reopen Frayo. The microphone is asked for only if you record with sound. Privacy and permissions

How does covering secrets work, and what can it miss?
