Pi Lens
Setup guide

Override screenshot shortcuts.

Pi Lens uses Command + Shift + 3 and Command + Shift + 4. macOS owns those keys by default, so setup asks you to turn off Apple's matching screenshot shortcuts first.

    Check again in Pi Lens.

    Return to Pi Lens and click Check Again. If the shortcuts are available, Pi Lens continues to Screen Recording permission.

You only need to disable Apple's save-to-file shortcuts for Command + Shift + 3 and Command + Shift + 4. Clipboard screenshot shortcuts can stay enabled unless you want to change them too.
