ShotTidier turns the screenshots you keep saving into a tidy, searchable catalog. Products, places, recipes, books, quotes and more: AI reads each screenshot and pulls out the details that matter, so you can actually find them later. HOW IT WORKS • Pick screenshots in the app or share one straight from any app • AI extracts names, prices, addresses, links and more — one screenshot can become several items • Review and edit the results, then save them to your catalog 13 SMART CATEGORIES Shopping, Places, Recipes, Books, Movies & TV Shows, Apps & Services, Articles, Quotes, Contacts, Tasks, Health, Prompts and Language Learning. Create your own categories too — AI can even suggest a new one when nothing fits. MORE THAN A LIST • Find Missing Info: one tap searches the web to fill in links, genres, years and other empty fields • See saved places on a map, get directions and add plans to your calendar • Search across every category at once • Interactive widgets for your shopping list and tasks • Duplicate detection, so you don't save the same thing twice • The original screenshot stays linked to every item PRIVATE BY DESIGN On iPhone and iPad with Apple Intelligence, screenshots are analyzed right on your device. Other devices send a copy of the screenshot for cloud analysis. Your catalog stays on your device and, with Pro, syncs privately through iCloud. AVAILABLE IN 13 LANGUAGES Switch the app language anytime in Settings. PLANS • Free: 5 screenshot analyses every 30 days and 1 enrichment credit • Pro Monthly or Pro Yearly: unlimited analyses, 10 enrichment credits every 30 days, custom categories and iCloud sync • Pro Lifetime: unlimited analyses, custom categories and iCloud sync with a one-time purchase, plus 100 enrichment credits Extra enrichment credit packs are available as one-time purchases.
