Risk explanation

It can send screenshot regions, optional clipboard text, optional selected files, and voice input to your configured provider, so treat it as a real data-exposure surface for whatever is on screen; The app asks for accessibility, screen-recording, and optional Finder or Explorer integration permissions, so review those OS-level grants before using it on sensitive machines; The license is Business Source License 1.1 rather than a clean open-source license, so commercial redistribution, SaaS hosting, bundling, and resale require a separate written commercial license.
