Turn screenshots into searchable notes, free to scan, then clear them out of your camera roll. Screenshot Notes: DumpPixels pulls the text from door codes, receipts and addresses so you keep the words and lose the clutter. DumpPixels reads the text on-device. You edit it. You save a local note. You confirm, and the screenshot goes to Recently Deleted. The note stays — searchable even when the image would be flaky to find (iCloud-only, optimized, not on this device). This is not “better screenshot search.” Searching full-pixel screenshots often fails when the asset isn’t local. A tiny editable note is the reliable find. Scan, OCR, and save are free. Clearing the image unlocks for $19.99 for life. Pay once. No weekly plan, no monthly plan, no account. Empty Recently Deleted in the Photos app if you want the space now, or wait 30 days. If iCloud Photos is on, a delete applies to every device in that library. Nothing is uploaded. OCR is on-device. DumpPixels does not auto-delete. It does not rewrite your text with “AI summary.” It is not a video cleaner.
