### Implementation notes

Permission is requested only after Start. Captures stay in your browser. Stop ends device access. Browser support and available audio sources vary.

### Inputs and settings

No free-text input is required. Use the file inputs and/or settings below.

No additional settings are declared for this tool.

### Planning specification

Capture a still from a user-selected screen, window or tab with explicit permission where supported; stop capture tracks after use and on errors; offer local PNG download and clear unsupported-browser guidance; arbitrary remote URL capture is a separate workflow.

This describes intended requirements. Use the implementation notes, interface schema and observed output to determine current support.
