Shelfie
Photos & screenshots, sorted.
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Your screenshots and photos, finally searchable. Shelfie uses on-device Apple Intelligence to tag, summarize, and organize every image — privately.
Shelfie turns your screenshot and photo chaos into an organized, searchable library — powered entirely by on-device Apple Intelligence. Nothing ever leaves your iPhone.
Every image you import is automatically analyzed, tagged, and categorized using Apple's Vision, Natural Language, and Foundation Models frameworks. Screenshots, photos, receipts, whiteboards, documents, signs, handwritten notes — Shelfie knows what it's looking at and makes it instantly findable.
INTELLIGENT ORGANIZATION
• Works on both screenshots and regular photos — the picker defaults to screenshots but you can toggle to your full photo library
• Auto-categorization into 19 smart categories: Receipts, Conversations, Articles, Code, Maps, Social Media, Email, Calendar, Settings, Shopping, Travel, Health, Finance, Food, Documents, Entertainment, Education, Music, and Other
• AI-generated tags, one-sentence summaries, and key highlights (prices, dates, action items)
• Entity extraction — people, places, and organizations pulled automatically
• Tappable detected data — URLs open Safari, phone numbers dial, addresses jump to Apple Maps
POWERFUL SEARCH
• Full-text search across every pixel of OCR-extracted text — screenshots, signs, receipts, handwriting
• Smart AI search understands natural language: "receipts from last week", "photos of whiteboards", "messages from John"
• Spotlight integration — find any image straight from your Home Screen
• Siri Shortcuts: "Search images in Shelfie", "Find image in Shelfie"
VISUAL DISCOVERY
• Similar images surface automatically using visual fingerprinting
• Content Graph — explore your library as a constellation of related ideas
• Auto-generated Collections plus custom Groups for manual organization
PRODUCTIVITY TOOLS
• Your Context — tell Shelfie about yourself (work, hobbies, life) and Apple Intelligence writes tags, descriptions, and group names that actually fit you. Stays on your device, syncs only via your private iCloud
• Combine multi-page screenshots into a single item — drag to reorder, Apple Intelligence suggests the right top-to-bottom order, and overlapping OCR text is deduplicated. Originals are kept and back-linked
• Multi-select mode to summarize several images into a single AI briefing with themes and action items
• Quote Card Generator creates shareable image cards in five styles and three sizes
• Share Sheet support — send screenshots and photos to Shelfie from any app
• Editable personal notes on every image
• Import up to 50 images at once from the photo library, take a new one with the camera, paste from the clipboard, or share up to 10 at a time. After importing from Photos, Shelfie can offer to delete the originals so you free up space
PRIVACY FIRST
All processing happens on-device. No cloud AI. No third-party SDKs. No ads. No tracking. Your images — and everything Shelfie learns about them — stay yours. Your library syncs across your Apple devices through your own private iCloud container, which only your devices can read.
REQUIREMENTS
• iOS 26 or later
• Apple Intelligence-capable device (iPhone 15 Pro or newer) for summaries, smart search, and quote generation
• OCR, categorization, and similarity features work on all supported devices
• No account required
Stop scrolling through Photos looking for that one image. Let Shelfie find it for you.

Guide the AI — now even smarter.
Add the context only you know about a screenshot — who's in it, what it's for, why it matters — and tap "Regenerate with Context" to re-run the analysis grounded in your own words. This release puts that context to work across the whole library:
• Calendar events that don't slip through. Shelfie now spots an event even when the date and time are split across lines, mangled by OCR, or only mentioned in your note — then offers to add it to your calendar. Tell it "the event is at 4:30" and it listens.
• Smarter links. Relevant URLs get surfaced even when they're written without an http or www prefix, so the booking link on a flyer is one tap away.
• Sharper everything. Your context steers the description, category, tags, and highlights toward what actually matters to you.
Plus a fix so a screenshot with a clear date and time always shows its "Add to Calendar" suggestion, and the usual round of polish.
