Questions and answers
Where is Screenshell after I install it?
Screenshell has no Dock icon. It lives in your menu bar (top right). Click the shell icon any time to open the basket, change shortcuts or check for updates.
I can’t see the menu bar icon. Is it behind the notch?
On Macs with a notch, the icon can sit behind it. Command-drag menu bar items to make room, or open Screenshell from the Dock or Finder.
Are my screenshots uploaded anywhere?
No. Everything is processed on your Mac. Translate downloads its model once, then works offline.
Can I change the keyboard shortcuts?
Yes, all of them, in the menu bar under Shortcuts.
Which Macs are supported?
Any Mac running macOS 14 or later.
Which permissions does it need?
Screen Recording to capture. Desktop access for the Basket, and Accessibility only for scrolling capture.
How does translation work without the internet?
On first use, Translate downloads a compact language model (about 800 MB, once). After that it runs entirely on your Mac, offline.
Where are my screenshots saved?
In ~/Pictures/Screenshell. Edits are saved next to the original.
Does it replace the built-in macOS screenshots?
It works alongside them. The Basket shows macOS screenshots too.
Can I hide tools I don’t use?
Yes. Show, hide and reorder tools in Settings.
