• To-dos only appear when a screenshot clearly states a task, deadline, or owner—nothing is invented.

• Brand-new look and icon — a clean, calm "mist blue" interface

As always: text recognition runs on your device, images never leave your phone, and AI is optional (bring your own key).
2.1.0 22 Jun
This update is all about stability:
• Fixed freezes and crashes when importing a large number of screenshots — thousands import smoothly, recognition continues in the background, and progress resumes automatically if you leave
• Failed recognitions now retry automatically; notes are no longer flagged as errors when AI isn't configured

• New "Topics" quick filter on the home screen; tap a tag in Tag Management to browse its screenshots

2.0.1 5 Jun
Introducing 2.0 — screenshot it, forget it, and it comes back when you need it.
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 / 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
Find them faster:
• Full-text search of the real text inside — no need to remember where it is or what you named it
• Related screenshots surface automatically • Spotlight jumps straight from system search
A new paper-toned interface — calmer and easier to read.
Local-first as always: OCR runs entirely on-device, images never leave; the Mac version has no third-party AI at all. Optional AI needs your own key (BYOK) and is fully optional.
Thanks for the detailed feedback that shaped this release.
