About that Screen Recording prompt

Yes, macOS will ask. It has to, because the effect literally needs your screen. Frames are processed on your Mac and thrown away frame by frame. Nothing is written to disk, nothing is uploaded, and there is no account anywhere in this. Same as every other thing SlapMac does.

It's in v1.4.5. Go close your lid.

Free for everyone who already owns SlapMac. Update the app and it's waiting for you in settings.
