Requirements, where screenshots are saved, shortcuts and privacy.
Getting started
- Download Glance.dmg, open it and drag Glance to your Applications folder. Glance requires macOS 27.2 or later.
- Open Glance — it appears in the menu bar, not the Dock.
- Press ⇧ ⌘ 1. macOS asks for Screen Recording access: allow Glance in System Settings → Privacy & Security → Screen & System Audio Recording, then reopen Glance if asked.
- Optional: enable Open at login in Settings (menu bar icon → Settings…).
Troubleshooting
The shortcut does nothing or captures a blank image
Screen Recording permission is missing or was granted to a different copy of the app. Remove Glance from the Screen Recording list, add it again from /Applications, and restart Glance.
The shortcut conflicts with macOS screenshots
Glance uses ⇧ ⌘ 1 and ⇧ ⌘ 2 by default. Record different shortcuts in Settings → Shortcuts.
I can’t find my saved screenshot
Saved PNGs go to Downloads unless you picked another folder in Settings → Export. Files are named like macOS screenshots, e.g. Screenshot 2026-11-07 at 15.04.32.png.
I closed the editor before saving
Open the menu bar icon → Recent Captures. Your last 10 screenshots are kept there with annotations until you quit Glance.
