## What is Snapwell?

Snapwell is an AI-powered media library for collecting, organizing, and searching your visual inspiration.

Drop in screenshots, photos, videos, and web images. Snapwell's AI analyzes everything automatically — tagging content, detecting patterns, and making your entire collection searchable by what's actually in each image.

HOW IT WORKS

• Import images and videos: Screenshots, photos, video, web images. Drag in, paste, or share from any app.
• AI tags everything: Every image gets analyzed automatically. Add custom guidance to focus the AI on what matters to you.
• Search by what you see: Describe an object, a layout, a mood. Snapwell finds the match — no manual tags or folders needed.

BUILT FOR VISUAL THINKERS

• UI Design — Collect UI patterns, login flows, component states, and animations. Build a searchable reference library of interface design.
• Home Improvements — Gather interior design ideas, furniture inspiration, paint swatches, and room layouts. Organize by project.
• Creative Inspiration — Curate art, typography, photography, fashion, and video references. Let AI find connections across your collection.

FEATURES

• Local-first storage — All your files, metadata, and preferences stay on your devices and your iCloud — not our servers.
• AI-powered analysis — Categorize and tag using OpenAI, Claude, Google Gemini, or OpenRouter with your own API key.
• Custom analysis prompts — Configure AI instructions per space for tailored categorization that fits your workflow.
• Spaces — Organize media into focused collections with drag-and-drop.
• Content search — Find images based on what AI detected in them, not filenames.
• iCloud sync — Sync your library seamlessly between Mac and iPhone.
• Video support — Import, organize, and analyze video alongside images.
• Share Extension (iOS) — Send images and videos to Snapwell from any app.

PRIVACY BY DESIGN

No subscription. No account. Open source.

Your library lives on your devices and your iCloud — not our servers. Snapwell has zero analytics, zero telemetry, and zero tracking. When you use AI analysis, requests go directly from your device to the provider you choose. You supply your own API key and can switch providers at any time.

OPEN SOURCE

Every line of code is on GitHub. Inspect exactly what the app does, contribute improvements, or build on top of it.

REQUIREMENTS

AI analysis requires an API key for at least one supported provider (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini, or OpenRouter). The app works without AI too — you just won't get automatic tagging and search.

Stability

Long-press any space to hide its items from the All Media view. Great for keeping project inspiration, mood boards, or private content out of your main feed while keeping them organized in their space. Thanks to https://github.com/widen221.

**Fixes**
- Tall images now display correctly in the full-screen viewer with vertical scrolling
- Grid thumbnails for tall images are no longer blurry or cropped from the center
