What makes it different
Grain is rendered into the image at full resolution, not pasted on top, so it survives JPEG compression, scaling and print
Preview matches the 4K export exactly; what you tune on a laptop is what lands on the monitor
Pay once, never auto-renews; no subscription required
Free tier is genuinely useful with 5 full-resolution 4K exports monthly
No account or sign-up required to start using
All screenshots stay locally on your Mac with no uploads
Permanent redaction that cannot be removed from exported images
