## What is JunkDrawer?

Every iPhone has a thousand screenshots. The parking spot at the airport, the OTP from the bank, the auto driver's address, the kid's exam result, the prescription you snapped before the chemist closed. Photos already saves them. Finding them, three months later, is the problem.

JunkDrawer indexes every screenshot you share to it - fully on your device - so you can find anything later. By word, by ₹ amount, or just by the vibe of what it was.

WHAT IT DOES

• OCR over English. Every word inside the screenshot becomes searchable.
• Apple Intelligence classifies each screenshot - receipt, prescription, ticket, contact, invitation, social post, exam result, food, map, document, and more.
• A one-line summary so you can skim a hundred screenshots without opening any.
• Structured extraction. Phone numbers, OTPs, ₹ amounts, dates, addresses, UPI handles, IFSC codes, dosages, tracking numbers - pulled out as tappable pills. One tap to call, copy OTP, open Maps, copy the total.

SEARCH THAT ACTUALLY WORKS

Full-text + semantic + visual labels, all at once. Type "biryani" or "₹440" or "diabetes meds" - the right screenshot surfaces. No mode switching. No syntax.

DOMAIN-AWARE

• ₹ formats in lakhs and crores when they should.
• UPI handles aren't treated as broken email addresses.
• IFSC codes are first-class.
• Phone numbers in +91 format pretty-print correctly.

FULLY ON-DEVICE

This matters more for screenshots than for almost any other category of personal data. Your screenshots are your bank app, your prescriptions, your OTPs.

• No account, no cloud, no analytics, no telemetry.
• OCR runs on Apple's Vision framework. Classification runs on Apple Foundation Models. Embeddings come from Apple's Natural Language framework. Nothing leaves your phone.
• Delete the app and every screenshot it indexed is deleted with it. Your Photos library is never touched.
• If iCloud Backup is on, your drawer rides to your next iPhone automatically.
• Manual export creates a single .junkdrawer file you can stash anywhere — iCloud Drive, AirDrop to your Mac, email yourself. Tap one to import on a fresh install.

HONEST ABOUT STATE

• Pending screenshots show a small dot until they're analyzed. No fake completeness.
• Settings tells you exactly which features are running and which aren't.
• If the AI gets a kind wrong, change it from the screenshot's menu. Edit a wrong capture date the same way.

WHAT IT ISN'T

• Not another Photos app - your library stays where it is.
• Not cloud sync (the schema is ready; sync ships in a later update).
• Not a notes or journaling app.
• Just one thing, done well.

REQUIREMENTS

Apple Intelligence required for full features (iPhone 15 Pro or later, iOS 26 recommended). Without it, full-text search and entity extraction still work on every screenshot - just no AI summaries or classification.

Free forever, with an optional tip jar inside.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 2.0 — 2026-08-11

The release that makes Junk Drawer the first app you open to find  or stash anything.
- Throw in anything
Not just screenshots and links anymore. Share text from any app, or tap ＋ to jot or paste a note straight into the drawer. It's searchable and organized like everything else - one bucket for all of it.
- Ask your screenshots
Ask a question in plain words - "what's the gate code?", "any bills due soon?" - and get the actual answer plus the screenshots it came from. Runs entirely on your device.
- Answers on arrival
Your latest verification code sits at the top, one tap to copy. Thumbnails show what they are at a glance, and you can flip any category into a copyable list of the values themselves, the code or number, not the picture.
- It comes to meet you
"On this day" resurfaces screenshots from years past. Get a reminder when a bill, ticket, or appointment Junk Drawer spotted is due. And Shuffle - a two-minute wander through a random handful: keep what matters, toss what doesn't.
- Plus undo for accidental deletes, faster performance on big libraries, better accessibility, and widget fixes.

Still 100% on-device. No account. No cloud.

### 1.5.1 — 2026-07-07

Widget Fixes

### 1.5 — 2026-07-04

Your screenshots now come to you. Home-screen and lock-screen widgets, Siri and Spotlight that actually reach into your drawer, and a faster, calmer app throughout.

Latest Code - your most recent OTP/verification code, one tap to copy (redacted on the lock screen until you unlock).
Coming Up - the next bill, appointment, or ticket Junk Drawer spotted.
Recent - your last few screenshots, tap straight in.
Favourite Links - a tidy launcher for the links you star.

Ask Siri to search your drawer, pull your latest code, or find a category ("find my receipts").
System Spotlight surfaces your screenshots alongside Notes and Mail - plus a "Rebuild index" control and a searchable-count readout in Settings if it ever drifts.
Find by colour - search visually: pull up screenshots by their dominant colour, including multi-colour matches, no text needed.

Links became a launcher - save links from anywhere, star your favourites, and reach them fast from the app or the widget.

Remind me, simplified - set a reminder on any screenshot or link straight from the long-press menu.

Undo delete - deleted something by accident? Tap Undo on the toast. Deletion is no longer scary.

Faster & lighter - big first-imports run cooler and use far less memory; the app takes up less storage per screenshot; Spotlight indexing no longer re-does the whole drawer on every change.

More usable for everyone - VoiceOver now reads your grids and filters properly, and low-contrast text was darkened to meet accessibility standards.

Privacy, tightened - stronger at-rest protection for your data, sensitive items kept out of the system search index, verification codes no longer spoken aloud or pulled from a locked phone, and copied codes stay on-device and auto-expire. Still 100% on-device, no account, no cloud.

Plus a lot of fixes & polish - a share-extension bug that could drop an image, clearer error messages, a Photos-permission toggle that actually asks, correct 24-hour time, smoother swipe-paging through search results, and friendlier empty states.

### 1.3.0 — 2026-06-12

- Swipe between screenshots. Open one and swipe left or right to move through the rest - no more backing out and reopening each.
- Clean up the drawer, fast. Tap "Select" to delete in bulk with a single confirmation, or swipe through and mark screenshots for deletion as you go, then clear them all at once.
- Links has its own tab. Saved URLs are no longer buried in Settings - they're a tab, searchable by site or title, and they show up in the Timeline alongside the screenshots from the same day.
- A more native feel. New iOS tab bar - Search sits where Mail and Photos put it, and the bar tucks away while you scroll so more fits on screen.
- Timeline gets the full menu. Long-press any screenshot in the Timeline for the same quick actions - pin, tag, share, delete - you get in the drawer.
- Plus: Reminders permission is now one tap to fix if you change your mind, clearer first-run indexing, and a pile of under-the-hood fixes - full-screen viewer dismissal, live search results after deleting, and safer handling when you switch apps mid-import.
- Free forever. On-device. No cloud, no account.

### 1.2.1 — 2026-05-30

Tightening pass. Saved links in search results now match the long-press menu you get elsewhere. Reminders permission denial is now one tap to Settings. Honest copy in Settings about how iOS Spotlight indexing works. Under the hood: backgrounding the app no longer risks half-finished enrichment or lost writes.
