A recipe. A Wi-Fi password. Travel dates, a quote you liked, a jacket you meant to buy. All of it sits in a camera roll you will never scroll through again. Tukd gives those screenshots somewhere to go. Take a screenshot or share one into Tukd, and it does three things: • Names it and files it into a collection using AI • Reads the text in the image and pulls it out, ready to copy • Indexes every word so you can search it later ORGANISED FOR YOU AI reads each screenshot, writes it a title, and puts it in a collection: recipes, travel, work, wishlists, whatever you keep. If the right collection does not exist yet, one tap makes it. You can move anything yourself, any time. SEARCH INSIDE THE IMAGES Search covers titles, collections, your own notes, and the text inside every screenshot. One word you remember is enough to find it. SAVE FROM ANY APP Tap share in Safari, Instagram, Messages, anywhere. Tukd files it while you carry on with what you were doing. BRING IN YOUR WHOLE CAMERA ROLL Already have hundreds of screenshots? Import them in one go. Pick everything, the last 3 months, or month by month. Tukd skips anything it already has, and titles and collections fill in by themselves after the import finishes. REMINDERS Put a reminder on a screenshot and Tukd tells you at the right time. The boarding pass on the morning of the flight. The sale before it closes on Friday. Reminders reach every device you are signed in on. TEXT YOU CAN COPY Addresses, discount codes, ingredient lists, phone numbers. Tukd pulls the text out so you never retype it off an image again. NOTES OF YOUR OWN Add a note to any screenshot: why you saved it, what to do about it. Your notes are searchable too. Export a screenshot's text and notes as plain text whenever you want them somewhere else. ON YOUR MAC TOO Tukd for Mac signs in to the same account. Take a screenshot and click Send to Tukd, or find any screenshot by a word that was in it. Premium bought on your iPhone works on your Mac. PRIVACY Sign in with Apple or Google. Your screenshots live in your account and sync to your devices. Tukd reads the text in each screenshot on your iPhone. If there's enough text, only that text is sent to Anthropic's Claude API to name and sort it. If there isn't, the image is sent once instead. Under Anthropic's commercial terms that data is not used to train models, and we never sell it. Delete your account from Profile and everything goes with it. WHAT'S FREE, AND WHAT PREMIUM ADDS Tukd is free to start: 10 screenshots, then 3 more every month. AI sorting, text extraction, search, reminders and export all work on the free plan. Premium adds: • Unlimited screenshots • Importing your whole camera roll at once • Tukd on iPhone and Mac, one subscription • One monthly price, cancel whenever you want Download Tukd and stop losing things in your camera roll. Tukd Premium is an auto-renewing subscription. • Tukd Premium (Monthly), billed monthly at the price shown in the app Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Tukd at none against abcNotes's 1. Tukd also leads on ads (none vs shown). abcNotes's advantage is iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.1). On price, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.
