Screenshots become searchable notes — even the text inside the image. OCR runs on-device; optional AI (your own key) auto-writes titles, summaries and tags.
ScreenNote turns every screenshot you take into a searchable, reusable note — and now it keeps your ledger and your to-dos too.
It starts with on-device OCR: Apple Vision reads all the Chinese and English text inside each image, so you can search the words in the picture itself. Turn on optional AI and it goes further — auto-generating titles, summaries and tags, pulling key fields from records and quotes from your keepers. A screenshot becomes a structured note in seconds. Everything core runs entirely on your device: no network, no account, no subscription.
Ledger — bookkeeping as a side effect of screenshotting:
• Payment confirmations, bank notifications and bill pages are recognized into entries automatically: amount, merchant, category, time
• Monthly stats, category breakdown, trends and budget alerts; import a statement and reconcile differences — see exactly which months are missing
• Multi-currency totals kept separate; income, refunds and transfers are told apart from spending
• Smart dedupe for repeated screenshots, recurring subscriptions detected; every entry is editable, and you can add one manually too
To-dos — nothing in a screenshot gets forgotten:
• Action items like "due tomorrow" or "meeting next Wed" are gathered into a to-do list; check them off as you go
• One tap to add to system Reminders or Calendar; overdue items flagged in red, completion time recorded
• Edit with a date picker — natural phrases like "next Wednesday" work too
Kept the way you meant it:
• Throwaways (memes, news, things to send a friend) — settle into a folded "casual" row, out of the way
• Records (orders, receipts, IDs, addresses, accounts, codes) — strong local search + one-tap copy of the key bits
• Keepers (ideas, tutorials, quotes) — OCR brings the text back to life and gathers the same topics together
• Grouping is visible and correctable in one tap; the Categories page keeps content, images, ledger and to-dos each in their own place — fully customizable
Back the moment you need it:
• Full-text search across OCR text, titles, summaries, tags and your notes — the real content inside
• Matched keywords highlighted • Spotlight jumps straight from system search
• On-device OCR (Chinese + English) — with AI off, images never leave your device
Organize & revisit:
• Tags / folders / batch archive & delete
• Weekly and annual recaps, plus quote cards — export polished images to share
• iCloud end-to-end encrypted sync across iPhone / iPad / Mac
Optional AI:
• Auto titles, summaries and tags; key fields from records, precise ledger recognition, quotes from keepers
• Bring your own key (BYOK): connect a range of major large-model services by entering your own API key in Settings; costs settled directly with the provider you choose
• No key? Zero-setup official AI: claim it in Settings for 30 free recognitions per month, or go unlimited with a Pro subscription. Content is sent to the official service for that one recognition and not retained
• Skip AI entirely without losing any core feature
About the Pro subscription:
• Pro is an auto-renewable subscription (monthly / yearly) that unlocks unlimited official AI; prices are shown on the purchase page
• Payment is charged to your Apple account upon confirmation; manage or cancel anytime in your system subscription settings
• Privacy policy: https://note.gatheon.com/privacy
• Terms of use (Apple standard EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
Privacy promise:
• OCR runs fully on-device; with AI off, images and text never leave your device
• With AI on, only the content you choose to recognize is sent — to the provider you picked, for that request only
• No account registration; you own your data — full export as Markdown + JSON + originals anytime
Mac: strictly local-first, no third-party AI at all. Shortcuts: Cmd+N (import) / Cmd+F (search) / Cmd+E (export).

2.3.0: Official AI goes live, with an optional Pro subscription.
Official AI (zero setup):
• Out of beta: 30 free recognitions per month — claim in Settings, no account or key needed
• New Pro subscription (monthly / yearly) for unlimited official AI
• Your plan, price and renewal status now show right in Settings → AI Settings, with a system manage entry
Polish & stability:
• "Test connection" now runs both channels in parallel — faster, more accurate results
• Subscription prices load more reliably, with clear reasons and one-tap retry on failure
• Paid status carried through everywhere: Pro users no longer see free-quota copy
• Assorted fixes and stability improvements
Text recognition still runs on your device; AI stays optional — everything core works without it.
