## Self-hosting Screenity
> 🛠️ Note: When self-hosted, the extension runs entirely in local-only mode.  
> No API calls, sign-in flows, or platform features are enabled, nothing is sent anywhere.  
> Some internal code paths connect to [Screenity Pro](https://screenity.io/pro), but these are only active in the official Chrome Store version.

You can run Screenity locally without having to install it from the Chrome Store. Here's how:

1. Download the latest Build.zip from the [releases page](https://github.com/alyssaxuu/screenity/releases)
2. Load the extension by pasting `chrome://extensions/` in the address bar, and [enabling developer mode](https://developer.chrome.com/docs/extensions/mv2/faq/#:~:text=You%20can%20start%20by%20turning,a%20packaged%20extension%2C%20and%20more.).
3. Drag the folder that contains the code (make sure it's a folder and not a ZIP file, so unzip first), or click on the "Load unpacked" button and locate the folder.
4. That's it, you should now be able to use Screenity locally. [Follow these instructions](#enabling-save-to-google-drive) to set up the Google Drive integration.

<small>Self-hosting is totally fine for personal, educational, or internal use.

## Creating a development version

> ❗️ Note that the license has changed to [GPLv3](https://github.com/alyssaxuu/screenity/blob/master/LICENSE) for the current MV3 version (Screenity version 3.0.0 and higher). Make sure to read the license and the [Terms of Service](https://screenity.io/en/terms/) regarding intellectual property.

1. Check if your [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/) version is >= **14**.
2. Clone this repository.
3. Run `npm install` to install dependencies.
4. Run `npm start` to start the local development server.
5. Open `chrome://extensions/` in your browser and [enable developer mode](https://developer.chrome.com/docs/extensions/mv2/faq/#:~:text=You%20can%20start%20by%20turning,a%20packaged%20extension%2C%20and%20more.).
6. Click **Load unpacked** and select the `build` folder.
7. The extension should now be available locally.  
   To rebuild after code changes, run `npm run build`.

### Enabling Save to Google Drive

To enable the Google Drive Upload (authorization consent screen) you must change the client_id in the manifest.json file with your linked extension key.

You can create it accessing [Google Cloud Console](https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/credentials) and selecting Create Credential > OAuth Client ID > Chrome App. To create a persistent extension key, you can follow the steps detailed [here](https://developer.chrome.com/docs/extensions/reference/manifest/key).
