1. WHAT IS FANTYZO?
--------------------------------------------------------------

Fantyzo 4.5.2 is a desktop screenshot, annotation, OCR,
private-cloud, sharing, History, and screen-recording tool.

Fantyzo uses one universal client. You do not install a
different application when your account changes between Free
and Pro. Fantyzo checks your current account entitlement and
enables the features available to that plan.

Fantyzo normally lives in the system tray as a magnifying
glass icon.

Core workflow:

  1. Capture a region of the screen.
  2. Review the screenshot.
  3. Use any tools enabled for your plan.
  4. Upload it privately to Fantyzo Cloud.
  5. Open History to review, save, search, or deliberately
     create a public sharing link.

Private by default is an important Fantyzo design rule.
Uploading a screenshot does NOT automatically make it public.

--------------------------------------------------------------
2. FANTYZO FREE AND FANTYZO PRO
--------------------------------------------------------------

FANTYZO FREE

Current Free Cloud policy:

  * 1 GiB maximum active Cloud storage.
  * Up to 25 screenshot uploads per UTC day.
  * 30-day screenshot retention.
  * Screenshot History.
  * Private Cloud uploads.
  * Deliberate public sharing when you choose Share.
  * Free account MFA is optional but strongly recommended.

Free screenshot History shows:

    Posted on:
    <date and time>

    Deletes on:
    <date>

The Deletes on notice is displayed prominently because Free
screenshots are eligible for automatic deletion after their
retention period.

FANTYZO PRO

Pro unlocks the full screenshot toolset, including:

  * Arrow
  * Rectangle
  * Text
  * Numbering
  * Blur
  * Redact
  * Detect Sensitive
  * Auto Redact

Pro also enables Pro Cloud treatment and video-upload features
where available.

For an active Pro account, files remain stored until the user
deletes them, subject to the account's storage quota.

A 30-day grace period applies after Pro Cloud entitlement ends,
during which the user can recover/download files or restore
Pro. After the grace period, Cloud files become eligible for
permanent deletion.

The same Fantyzo 4.5.2 client automatically reacts when the
server reports a change between Free and Pro. No separate Pro
installer is required.

--------------------------------------------------------------
3. INSTALLING FANTYZO
--------------------------------------------------------------

WINDOWS 10 AND 11, 64-BIT

Fantyzo 4.5.2 is available as:

  Fantyzo-Setup-3.1.6.exe
  Fantyzo-3.1.6-Portable-Win64.zip

Installer:
  1. Run Fantyzo-Setup-3.1.6.exe.
  2. Complete the installer.
  3. Start Fantyzo.
  4. Find the magnifying-glass icon in the Windows system tray.

Portable:
  1. Extract Fantyzo-3.1.6-Portable-Win64.zip.
  2. Open the extracted Fantyzo folder.
  3. Run fantyzo.exe.

Do not run Fantyzo directly from inside the ZIP file.

LINUX, 64-BIT X11

The Linux package is intended for supported amd64 X11 desktop
systems. Wayland screen capture is not supported by this
Fantyzo build.

Install the .deb package with:

    sudo apt install ./fantyzo_4.5.2_amd64.deb

Then start Fantyzo from your desktop menu or run:

    fantyzo

If screen capture does not work on Linux, check:

    echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE

Fantyzo requires:

    x11

CACHYOS, X86_64 X11

Download:

    Fantyzo-3.1.6-CachyOS-x86_64.tar.gz

Extract the archive, open a terminal in the extracted
Fantyzo-3.1.6-CachyOS-x86_64 folder, and install with:

    sudo ./install-fantyzo.sh

The installer places Fantyzo under /opt/fantyzo, installs the
desktop application-menu launcher, and exits. Launch Fantyzo
normally from the desktop application menu.

The CachyOS build also requires an X11/Xorg session.

--------------------------------------------------------------
4. ACCOUNT SIGN-IN AND MFA
--------------------------------------------------------------

Open the tray menu and choose:

    Account...

Enter your Fantyzo username and password.

After successful authentication, Fantyzo identifies the plan
attached to your account.

FREE WITHOUT MFA

A Free account can sign in with username and password if MFA
has not been enabled.

FREE WITH MFA

If you enable MFA on a Free account, future sign-ins require
the authenticator code.

PRO

Fantyzo Pro requires MFA.

When MFA is required:

  1. Enter username and password.
  2. Enter the fresh six-digit code from your authenticator.
  3. Fantyzo completes sign-in.
  4. The Account window displays the current plan.

Free users are shown an Upgrade to Pro panel. Upgrade buttons
open the Fantyzo Pro upgrade page at fantyzo.com.

Fantyzo checks entitlement periodically while the client is
running so that an authorized plan change can unlock or lock
plan-specific features without reinstalling the application.

--------------------------------------------------------------
5. TAKING AND EDITING SCREENSHOTS
--------------------------------------------------------------

Start a screenshot from:

  * the tray menu,
  * the configured screenshot hotkey, or
  * the command-line action on supported Linux installs.

Drag a rectangle around the area you want to capture.

The screenshot editor opens before upload.

FREE

Free users can review and upload the captured screenshot.
Pro-only controls remain visible and are marked as Pro so you
can see what is available with an upgrade.

PRO SCREENSHOT TOOLS

Arrow
  Draw an arrow to call attention to an item.

Rectangle
  Outline an area.

Text
  Add text to the screenshot.

Number
  Add numbered callouts.

Blur
  Obscure an area while retaining a blurred appearance.

Redact
  Cover an area.

Detect Sensitive
  Uses local OCR and pattern detection to identify text that
  may contain sensitive information.

Auto Redact
  Uses local OCR and sensitive-information detection to place
  redactions over detected items.

Undo
  Removes the most recent annotation/redaction action.

LOCAL OCR UTILITIES

Copy Text
  Reads screenshot text with local OCR and copies recognized
  text to the clipboard.

Copy Code
  Copies terminal or source-code text while attempting to
  preserve layout and spacing.

OCR is performed locally with Tesseract where supported.

IMPORTANT: Detect Sensitive and Auto Redact are aids, not
guarantees. Always inspect the screenshot yourself before
uploading or sharing it.

ADVANCED FILE EDITOR (PRO)

Fantyzo 4.5.2 includes an Advanced File Editor for creating
and editing image documents.

NEW DOCUMENT
  Click New (Ctrl+N) to open a separate blank document.
  Enter the width and height in pixels. The defaults are
  1920 x 1080. The new document has a white background.
  Your existing editor window remains open.

IMPORTING IMAGES
  Click Import Image to choose an image from:
    * Fantyzo History, when available;
    * Fantyzo Cloud, when available; or
    * Your computer.

  Local imports support PNG, JPEG, WebP, and BMP images.
  Imported graphics are added to the document rather than
  replacing its existing contents.

  Click Paste Image to insert a supported clipboard image.

ARRANGING GRAPHICS
  Select / Move lets you select and reposition elements.
  Smaller and Larger resize the selected graphic.
  Send Back and Bring Forward change graphic stacking order.

CANVAS CONTROLS
  Extend Page +500 px increases the available page area.
  Canvas Size lets you specify the document dimensions.

TEXT FORMATTING
  Choose a font family and a size from 6 to 300 points.
  Use Color to choose annotation colors.
  B, I, and U control bold, italic, and underline styling
  for new text annotations.

SAVING DOCUMENTS
  In document mode, click Save As to save the finished
  image to your computer as PNG or JPEG.

  Saved PNG and JPEG files are flattened images, not
  editable word-processing documents.

The Advanced File Editor features require Pro entitlement.

--------------------------------------------------------------
6. PRIVATE CLOUD UPLOADS AND SHARING
--------------------------------------------------------------

You must be signed in before uploading to Fantyzo Cloud.

When you choose Upload, Fantyzo saves the screenshot privately
to your Fantyzo Cloud account.

Fantyzo does NOT automatically copy a public link merely
because the upload succeeded.

TO SHARE A SCREENSHOT

  1. Open History.
  2. Select one private Fantyzo Cloud screenshot.
  3. Choose Share.
  4. Confirm that you want a public sharing link.
  5. Fantyzo creates the link and copies it to the clipboard.

Anyone who receives that public share link may be able to view
the shared screenshot.

Share deliberately.

--------------------------------------------------------------
7. HISTORY AND RETENTION
--------------------------------------------------------------

Open:

    Tray menu > History...

History includes screenshot previews, Cloud URLs, posting
information, and plan-related expiration information.

Search can use locally stored OCR text and other History
metadata.

FREE RETENTION

Free Cloud screenshots are retained for 30 days. History
displays the deletion date for screenshots that have an
expiration date.

PRO RETENTION

Active Pro files do not receive the Free 30-day auto-expiry
treatment. They remain stored until deleted by the user,
subject to the account storage quota.

UPGRADING FROM FREE TO PRO

When Pro becomes active, surviving Free Cloud files are
protected by the server's Pro retention rules. Files already
permanently deleted before the upgrade cannot be restored by
the upgrade.

CLEARING LOCAL HISTORY

Clearing an entry from the desktop History and deleting the
underlying Cloud object are separate operations unless the
interface explicitly says otherwise. Read confirmation
messages carefully before deleting anything.

--------------------------------------------------------------
8. SCREEN RECORDING
--------------------------------------------------------------

Fantyzo can record a selected screen region to an MP4 file on
your computer.

Start Record from the tray menu or the recording hotkey.

  1. Choose Record region.
  2. Drag the recording area.
  3. Record your activity.
  4. Use the same Record action again to stop.

Local recordings are saved in the Fantyzo recordings folder.

Use:

    Tray menu > Open recordings folder

Cloud video-upload functionality requires Pro where available.

Recording another person's communications, meeting, voice,
video, or private activity may require consent under
applicable law. You are responsible for using recording
features lawfully.

--------------------------------------------------------------
9. FANTYZO DIGITAL PICTURE FRAMES
--------------------------------------------------------------

Fantyzo can link compatible Fantyzo Digital Picture Frames in
Second Life.

Typical pairing flow:

  1. Touch the Fantyzo frame in Second Life.
  2. Request an app/pairing code.
  3. In Fantyzo History, choose Link frame...
  4. Enter the code.
  5. Select screenshots and choose Send to my frame.

Pairing codes are temporary and should be treated as private.

A linked frame may display images to anyone who can see the
frame in-world.

--------------------------------------------------------------
10. HOTKEYS AND EVERYDAY OPERATION
--------------------------------------------------------------

WINDOWS DEFAULT HOTKEYS

    Ctrl+Alt+S    Screenshot region
    Ctrl+Alt+R    Record region / stop recording
    Ctrl+Alt+H    History

If a Windows hotkey is already used by another program,
Fantyzo reports the conflict and the tray menu remains
available.

LINUX

Linux desktop shortcuts can call:

    /usr/bin/fantyzo --shot
    /usr/bin/fantyzo --record
    /usr/bin/fantyzo --history

Configure those commands in your desktop environment's custom
keyboard-shortcut settings.

TRAY MENU

The Fantyzo tray menu provides access to:

  * Screenshot region
  * Record region
  * History
  * Account
  * Upgrade to Fantyzo Pro when appropriate
  * Recordings folder
  * User Manual
  * License Agreement
  * Check for updates
  * About Fantyzo
  * Quit

--------------------------------------------------------------
11. UPDATING AND UNINSTALLING
--------------------------------------------------------------

Fantyzo can check fantyzo.com for software updates.

Use:

    Tray menu > Check for updates...

Do not assume that uninstalling the desktop client deletes
your Fantyzo Cloud account or Cloud files. Desktop software,
local History, and Cloud data are separate.

WINDOWS

Use the normal Windows installed-app removal process for an
installed copy.

A portable copy can be removed by quitting Fantyzo and
deleting the extracted portable folder. Local Fantyzo data
stored outside that folder may remain.

LINUX

For a package installation:

    sudo apt remove fantyzo

Local History and user data are not necessarily removed by
uninstalling the package.

--------------------------------------------------------------
12. TROUBLESHOOTING
--------------------------------------------------------------

ACCOUNT WINDOW SAYS SIGN-IN FAILED

  * Confirm the username and password.
  * If MFA is enabled, use a fresh authenticator code.
  * Confirm your internet connection.
  * Try again after a short delay if the service is
    temporarily unavailable.

AUTHENTICATOR CODE IS REJECTED

  * Use the current six-digit code.
  * Make sure the computer/phone clock is correct.
  * Do not reuse an older code.

UPLOAD FAILED

  * Confirm you are signed in.
  * Confirm the internet connection.
  * Free accounts are limited to 25 screenshot uploads per
    UTC day and 1 GiB active Cloud storage.
  * The service may reject an upload when a plan limit has
    been reached.

PRO TOOLS SHOW "(PRO)"

Fantyzo currently sees the account as Free.

Open Account and verify the plan. If Pro was just activated,
leave Fantyzo running briefly so its entitlement check can
detect the change.

DETECT SENSITIVE OR OCR DOES NOT WORK

Fantyzo uses local Tesseract OCR. On Linux, verify:

    tesseract --version

Remember that OCR cannot reliably read every font, size,
background, or image.

LINUX: X11 SESSION REQUIRED

Run:

    echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE

It must report x11 for this Fantyzo Linux screen-capture
implementation.

NO TRAY ICON

Windows:
  Check the hidden-icons area of the system tray.

Linux:
  Confirm the desktop's system-tray/AppIndicator support is
  enabled.

RECORDING FAILED

  * Try a larger capture area.
  * Confirm FFmpeg is available in the installed build.
  * On Linux, run:

        ffmpeg -version

--------------------------------------------------------------
13. PRIVACY AND SECURITY NOTES
--------------------------------------------------------------

Fantyzo 4.5.2 uses a privacy-by-default Cloud workflow.

  * Cloud screenshots are private by default.
  * Public access is created only when you deliberately use
    Share.
  * Account passwords are not retained by the Account dialog
    after the authentication request.
  * MFA codes are not retained after verification.
  * OCR operations used by screenshot tools are local.
  * Local History may retain OCR text on your computer.
  * Free Cloud screenshots carry server-managed retention
    dates.
  * Pro Cloud files follow Pro retention rules while the
    entitlement remains active.

Never place passwords, private keys, authentication tokens,
recovery codes, or other secrets in a screenshot merely
because Detect Sensitive is available.

Automated detection can miss information.
