Screenshot capture fails even though Screen & System Audio Recording permission is enabled

Description:

Hi ParakeetAI team,

I’m using ParakeetAI on macOS, and the screenshot feature is consistently failing with the message “Failed to take a screenshot.”

I have already checked:

System Settings → Privacy & Security → Screen & System Audio Recording

and confirmed that ParakeetAI has the required permission enabled.

I also restarted ParakeetAI, but the issue still persists.

Expected behavior

When I trigger the screenshot feature, ParakeetAI should successfully capture the screen.

Actual behavior

The screenshot fails every time and displays:

“Failed to take a screenshot”

Troubleshooting already attempted

  • Confirmed Screen & System Audio Recording permission is enabled

  • Restarted ParakeetAI

  • Rechecked the macOS privacy permissions

Could you please investigate whether this is a known macOS screenshot/capture issue or if there are additional permissions or troubleshooting steps I should try?

I can provide my macOS version, ParakeetAI version, logs, or screen recording if needed.

Thanks!
