What Shotbox: Screenshot Finder does

Your camera roll has a secret second brain buried inside it: hundreds of screenshots. The wifi password at the rental. The receipt you need for an expense report. That confirmation number. The recipe a friend sent. The parking level. A promo code that expires Friday. You took the screenshot so you would not forget — and now you cannot find it, because scrolling a wall of thumbnails is the only tool you have. Apple Photos can search the text inside your screenshots, but only as a literal substring match. Type the wrong word and it finds nothing. It cannot rank by what you actually meant, and it cannot sort your screenshots into groups. Shotbox can, and it does the whole thing on your phone. Shotbox reads every screenshot on-device with Apple's Vision text recognition, then turns the words into meaning with Apple's Natural Language sentence embeddings. Search 'wifi password' and the router setup screen jumps to the top — even if the screenshot says 'network key'. Ask for 'that confirmation number' or 'the recipe' and Shotbox ranks the right shot first, blending semantic understanding with exact keyword hits so both a fuzzy idea and a precise code resolve fast. It also sorts itself. Shotbox auto-clusters your screenshots into smart shelves — Receipts, Confirmations, Links, Recipes, Addresses, Promo Codes and more — so you can browse a tidy grid instead of an endless scroll. Open any screenshot to see the full recognized text, tap detected links, and copy confirmation numbers and codes with one tap. And all of it stays private. There is no account, no upload, no server. Every bit of reading and understanding runs on your device using frameworks iOS already ships. Your screenshots — which quietly hold passwords, addresses, tickets and receipts — never leave your phone. • Semantic search: find screenshots by meaning, not just exact words • On-device OCR with Apple Vision + Natural Language embeddings — 100% offline • Smart shelves: auto-sorted Receipts, Confirmations, Links, Recipes, Addresses, Promo Codes • Detected data: tappable links, phone numbers and confirmation codes, copy in one tap • Full recognized-text view with tap-to-zoom on the original • No account, no upload, no server — your images never leave your phone Shotbox uses on-device OCR and semantic matching to help you find screenshots. Recognition and ranking are best-effort — always double-check anything important against the original screenshot.
