Find screenshots and screen recordings by the words that were visible. SiftFrame keeps your capture trail searchable on your Mac—no account or cloud OCR. Find the moment you remember. SiftFrame makes screenshots and screen recordings searchable by the words visible on screen. Capture something new or add folders you already use—including screenshots stored in subfolders—then search the entire trail from one private Mac app. SEARCH THE SCREEN, NOT THE TIMESTAMP On-device text recognition searches visible words across screenshots and sampled frames from screen recordings. Type the phrase, title, filename, tag, source, note, or date you remember instead of hunting through timestamped files. KEEP THE WHOLE CAPTURE TRAIL TOGETHER Capture a display, window, or area, make supported screen recordings, or index existing folders. SiftFrame keeps screenshots and recordings together in one searchable visual library. Advanced capture tools include timed and last-region capture, freeform shapes, and precise polygon selections. Draw the shape you need instead of being limited to a rectangle. FOLLOW FOLDERS—AND THEIR SUBFOLDERS Add folders you already use and optionally include screenshots inside nested subfolders. SiftFrame watches the folders you select while keeping independently added and overlapping folders organized without duplicating ownership. RECOVER THE CONTEXT SiftFrame Pro includes a calendar-guided Timeline for browsing your visual history by day. Search exact dates, move through capture sessions, and organize results by source app, tag, media type, or review state. Quick Capture Groups let you start a named session directly from the Capture menu. New screenshots and recordings are collected together automatically, without moving or changing the original files. Add searchable context and notes to preserve why something mattered—not only what appeared on screen. WORK YOUR WAY Use the Command Palette for fast, keyboard-driven capture and workflow actions. Create Capture Presets for settings you use repeatedly, including capture mode, destination, naming, preview, and pointer choices. Pin useful screenshots or recordings above other windows as adjustable references. Compare two screenshots and their recognized text, add recording markers and auto-chapters, create non-destructive redacted copies, and package files, recognized text, notes, and metadata into Export Bundles. LOCAL BY DESIGN Screenshots, recordings, recognized text, notes, indexes, and library metadata stay on your Mac. SiftFrame has no account, cloud library, cloud OCR, remote AI processing, analytics, telemetry, advertising, or subscription. Files leave SiftFrame only when you explicitly export, share, move, or perform another file action. Your originals remain unchanged unless you deliberately choose an action that affects them.
