Screen Actions turns on-screen text into things you can use β Contacts, Calendar events, Reminders or a CSV β fast and entirely on device. Select text in Safari, share from any app, or scan a photo/screenshot and pick an action. No accounts. No servers. No tracking. What you can do β’ Add to Calendar β Detects dates/times in text and creates an event. Optional location, alert, travel-time alarm, and geofenced arrive/leave notifications. β’ Create Reminder β Finds tasks/deadlines and makes a reminder in the list you choose. β’ Extract Contact β Pulls names, emails, phones and addresses into Contacts (you review before saving). β’ Receipt β CSV β Converts receipt-like text into a clean CSV you can save or share. Ways to use it β’ Safari Web Extension β Select text on any webpage, tap the extension, and choose an action. β’ Share Extension β Send text or images from any app into Screen Actions. β’ Scan (live) β Use the camera to scan text or barcodes/QR and jump straight into the right editor. β’ Auto Detect β Paste/scan once; the app picks the best action and opens its editor so you can tweak before saving. iOS 26 βDocument Modeβ (on supported iPhones) β’ Reads real tables and structured text on device for better results. β’ Receipts β CSV v2: photos/screenshots become accurate rows & columns. β’ Batch contacts: a photographed sign-up sheet can become multiple Contacts. Privacy by design β’ Everything runs on your device using Apple frameworks (Vision OCR/Document Mode, Data Detectors, EventKit, Contacts, MapKit). β’ We donβt collect personal data, donβt run servers and donβt use third-party analytics. β’ Permissions are only requested when you use a feature that needs them (Calendars, Reminders, Contacts, Camera, Location for geofencing).
