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 — automatically.
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 (bring your own key) 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.
Kept the way you meant it:
• Throwaways (memes, news, things to send a friend) — settle into a folded "casual" row, out of the way but one tap from coming back
• Records (orders, receipts, IDs, addresses, accounts, codes) — strong local search + one-tap copy of the key bits, private things never touch the cloud
• Keepers (ideas, tutorials, quotes) — OCR brings the text back to life and gathers the same topics together
Back the moment you need it:
• Full-text search across OCR text, titles, summaries, tags and your notes — the real content inside, not a name you invented
• Matched keywords highlighted • Spotlight jumps straight from system search
• On-device OCR (Chinese + English) — images never leave your device
Organize & revisit:
• Tags / folders / batch archive & delete
• Weekly and annual recaps, plus quote cards — export polished images to share (3 styles: minimal light / dark / gradient)
• iCloud end-to-end encrypted sync across iPhone / iPad / Mac
Optional AI (BYOK — bring your own key):
• Auto titles, summaries and tags; pull key fields from records and quotes from keepers
• Works with 17 providers: DeepSeek / Kimi / OpenAI / Anthropic / Zhipu / Qwen / StepFun / Doubao / Hunyuan / SiliconFlow / Yi / Baichuan / Gemini / Mistral / Groq / Grok / OpenRouter
• Costs settled directly with the provider, not with this app
• Skip AI entirely without losing any core feature
Privacy promise:
• Images never leave your device (OCR runs fully on-device)
• No account registration, no data uploads
• 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).

This update refreshes ScreenNote inside and out — better looking, easier, and faster:
• Brand-new look and icon — a clean, calm "mist blue" interface
• Clearer sections — Shots, Search, Highlights and Settings, each in its own place
• One-tap copy for key info — verification codes, amounts, passwords: copy straight from the list, no need to open the note
• Smarter search — matched keywords are highlighted so you spot them instantly
• Faster and smoother — opening, scrolling and searching all feel quicker
• Now in English — the interface follows your system language
As always: text recognition runs on your device, images never leave your phone, and AI is optional (bring your own key).
