No.
QRecall doesn't make any changes to the documents or folders it is capturing and it doesn't add any files as it goes. It will happily capture from a read-only device.
Everything captured by QRecall is stored in an archive. An archive package consists of a single data file containing all of the archive information, accompanied by a small number of index files.
The only other files it creates are a handful of support files (mostly in ~/Library/Preferences/QRecall and ~/Library/Application Support/QRecall), some log files, and some support components that get installed into the operating system.
