The ultimate offline screen capture utility for Android. Capture, edit, annotate, and extract text entirely on-device with zero cloud processing.
Take manual screenshots instantly or initiate a periodic auto-capture loop. Manage everything smoothly through a floating overlay, quick setting tiles, or home screen widgets.
Jump right into editing. Crop edges, draw freehand annotations, insert shapes, apply text masks, and obscure sensitive regions right after a capture is taken.
Instantly copy visible text from your screenshots without compromising privacy. Powered by local Machine Learning binaries, text extraction runs offline ensuring your data never leaves the device.
Secure your intellectual property. Embed custom device information, date/time stamps, customized text, and colored overlays automatically into your exported captures.
Conserve device storage during continuous recording sessions. Our local algorithm evaluates consecutive screen states to dynamically skip identically matched frames.
Automate your storage management. Configure maximum folder safety limits (e.g., 2MB ceilings) and activate automatic retention cleaners to purge outdated captures safely hourly, daily, or weekly.
Stay informed effortlessly. The app leverages the native Android Text-to-Speech engine to announce capture loop starts, duplicate occurrences, and vital storage limit warnings aloud while you work.

Precisely adjust your continuous capture intervals from milliseconds to minutes. Define loop behavior, customize storage limits to prevent device overflow, and integrate auto-cleanup schedulers.
Choose between space-saving JPEG and lossless PNG formats. Tweak compression ratios to exactly balance image clarity with your available local storage capacity.
Enable robust watermarking rules. Append fixed timestamps, personalized text labels, colored backgrounds, or device signatures instantly to every stored capture.
Toggle and calibrate the sensitivity of the local duplicate frame scanner to automatically discard practically identical back-to-back screens, conserving immense storage.
Control the volume, spoken language voice, and verbosity of audio alerts that notify you about storage thresholds, status checks, and capture progress.
Modify the size, opacity, and default anchor corner of the "always-on-top" floating control widget. Configure it to auto-hide when taking a screenshot so it stays out of your way.
Strictly 18+ Adult Use Only. Constructed with absolute privacy from the ground up. We utilize zero external servers, no cloud processing, and no third-party trackers. Every capture, annotation, and OCR evaluation resides strictly within your local hardware sandbox and secure folders. Ensure complete control over your sensitive visual layouts.
No. MurGoo Screenshot Capture is designed to be fully offline. All core features including image capture, optical character recognition (OCR) text extraction, duplicate frame checking, and drawing annotations run independently on your device. Your data never touches a remote server.
We require this specifically to show our floating camera control overlay on top of your screen. This overlay gives you instant access to manual capture buttons or the pause controls for auto-capture while you are navigating through other applications.
Android utilizes a unified security framework (MediaProjection) both for screen casting and taking screenshots programmatically. The system presents a standard warning, but rest assured, our app only utilizes this API to extract still visual framesβsaving them purely as local JPG/PNG files to your storage drive.
By default, screenshots are securely routed to the public directory inside /Download/MurGoo_Captures (or your configured default storage). They are easily accessible via your mobile phone's built-in file explorer or gallery apps.
We've implemented proactive sizing monitors. If the remaining storage dips below your specified safety threshold boundary (like the default 2MB safety margin), the app automatically suspends the auto-capturing loop to protect your phone's memory. It will also sound an audible Text-to-Speech alert warning you about the space limit so you aren't caught off guard.
The offline OCR text extraction currently supports Latin-based languages, including English, Spanish, French, German, and Italian natively on-device. The Text-to-Speech (TTS) feature utilizes your Android device's built-in TTS engine, meaning it supports any language you have installed and enabled in your system's accessibility settings.
Yes, absolutely! MurGoo Screenshot Capture contains absolutely no ads to ensure a clean, uninterrupted user experience. However, developing and maintaining this tool takes time and effort. If you find the app helpful, please consider leaving a positive review or providing a tip. Your support directly funds continued development, bug fixes, and the addition of new features without relying on intrusive advertising.
Requires Android 8.0 (Oreo) or later to ensure compatibility with modern screen recording and notification APIs for a smooth capturing experience.
At least 100MB of free space is recommended for app installation and temporary buffer storage, plus additional space based on your continuous auto-capture and retention settings.
