Privacy & security notes
Screenshots are parsed in memory only. Structured metadata is retained for 30 days so you can revisit or delete it sooner. Review the security overview for encryption details and the privacy policy for retention options.
Common issues
- Slack theme interferes with capture
- Switch to the default theme temporarily or zoom in before capturing to improve OCR accuracy.
- Private channel content
- Only users with access to the channel can capture it. The capture never leaves your account and we store only metadata for 30 days.
- Missing attendees
- If the thread doesn’t list attendees, add them manually before sending the invite.
FAQ
Does this require the Slack API?
No. We read pixels from your screen—nothing connects to Slack APIs, so workspace admins do not need to approve an app.
Can I append Slack context to the calendar invite?
Yes. The detected notes field can include channel references or bullet points you add before sending.
How private are the captures?
Screenshots live only in memory for extraction. Structured metadata is encrypted and retained for 30 days by default, with manual deletion available sooner.
