ScreenTag
ScreenTag is a macOS menu bar utility for capturing screenshots and screen recordings, then annotating and sharing them clearly.
What is ScreenTag?
ScreenTag is a native macOS screen capture and annotation app built for people who need to explain what is happening on screen. It helps users take screenshots, record screencasts, and mark up images with arrows, shapes, text, and freehand drawings so instructions, bug reports, and visual feedback are easier to understand. The app is designed for common desktop workflows such as making tutorials, documenting software issues, preparing presentations, and collaborating with coworkers or clients. ScreenTag runs from the menu bar for quick access to capture tools without taking over the desktop. It supports capturing the full screen, a selected area, or a specific window, and it can save files to a chosen folder or copy them to the clipboard. Published by XPROLINE LLC, it is offered as a Mac utility focused on fast visual communication.

Safety overview
Status: Mostly safe
ScreenTag is a standard screen capture utility, so Screen Recording permission is expected for screenshots and screencasts, and Microphone access may be requested if you want to record voice with video. Those permissions are normal for this kind of app, but they can expose on-screen information or audio if you record sensitive material. Review what is visible before capturing, and turn off permissions you do not want to use.
Recommendation: Keep ScreenTag if you use it for screenshots, walkthroughs, bug reports, or annotated screen recordings. If you no longer need those tools, you can remove it without affecting macOS beyond losing its capture and annotation features.
