ShareX Team

The ShareX Team, an open-source collective best known for the wildly popular ShareX screen-capture suite, now offers ShareNot, a privacy-first fork that keeps every pixel on the user’s own disk. Building on years of experience in workflow automation, the group strips out all cloud hooks while retaining the granular region, window, and scrolling-capture engines that professionals expect. Typical use cases range from software testers who need frame-perfect bug screenshots to technical writers assembling local documentation, compliance officers documenting on-screen evidence without exposing data to external servers, and educators producing offline learning materials. ShareNot inherits the parent project’s rich annotation layer—vector arrows, step numbers, obfuscation blur, and OCR—so markup can be completed inside the same lightweight interface. Hot-key scripting, watermarks, and automatic file-naming conventions let entire capture sequences run unattended, dumping PNG, JPEG, or MP4 assets directly into predefined folders or network shares. Because no authentication keys or upload quotas are required, IT departments can roll the portable build out across secure environments without firewall exceptions or policy exemptions. The tool integrates equally well into personal knowledge-base workflows, where Markdown notes reference locally stored images, and into enterprise QA pipelines that feed on-prem ticket systems. ShareNot is available for free on get.nero.com; the site supplies the latest build through trusted Windows package sources such as winget, supports batch installation alongside other utilities, and always delivers the most recent release.
