Settings are stored in ~/Library/Application Support/app.clarife.capture/. Deleting this folder resets all settings to defaults.
There is no reset button in the UI. To reset, quit the app, delete the configuration folder, and relaunch.
Ensure the shortcut is not used by another app or macOS. Try a different combination. Also verify that clarife capture has Accessibility permissions in System Settings > Privacy & Security.
