We don’t take screenshots just to keep an image. We take them to remember something. A restaurant, a ticket, a purchase, an idea, a document, a conversation… then a few weeks later, the screenshot is buried among thousands of images. CaptainShot turns your screenshots and useful images into a private, organized, actionable library on iPhone, iPad, and Mac. It analyzes new captures, organizes them, helps you find them again, and lets you take action. MAKE YOUR SCREENSHOTS USEFUL - AI-powered automatic collections: CaptainShot analyzes your screenshots and automatically groups them by topic. - Manual collections: create your own collections. CaptainShot also takes your organization into account to better classify relevant new images. - Custom Selections: build dynamic collections with your own rules by combining text, visual content, SmartData, dates, faces, favorites, stars, status, notes, summaries, and more. They update automatically. - Natural search: find a screenshot using your own words through OCR, visual content, collections, detected data, notes, and summaries. - SmartData: turn screenshots into actionable information. CaptainShot detects dates, amounts, links, contacts, addresses, flights, deliveries, QR codes, and useful references. - Quick actions: use detected information to open a link, contact someone, view an address, use a date, or launch the relevant action. - Reminders and suggestions: CaptainShot detects important dates and information and can suggest reminders with useful details already prepared and linked to the original image. - Summaries and translations: on Apple Intelligence-compatible devices, generate summaries, translations, title suggestions, and reminder suggestions locally. - Super-fast Review: keep, delete, move, favorite, or mark screenshots as β€œTo Review” in just a few gestures. - Timeline, statistics, and widgets: return to a specific period, track your library, and keep important content accessible from your Home Screen. - Image editor: add notes, text, shapes, arrows, annotations, or blur areas. Crop, rotate, compare edits, and use Apple Pencil on compatible devices. - Import and sharing: add screenshots, photos, and documents from Photos, the camera, the Share Sheet, or by drag and drop on Mac. Share collections with other users. BUILT FOR EVERYDAY USE CaptainShot helps you find your images, understand what they contain, and act when it matters. New screenshots are analyzed in the background so your library keeps organizing itself automatically. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Screenshots can contain personal information, so CaptainShot is built around a local, private approach. OCR, visual analysis, SmartData, classification, and search run directly on your device. Your screenshots are not sent to CaptainShot servers for analysis. No account. No ads. No tracking. No profiling. Apple Intelligence is not required for the core experience. Compatible devices unlock additional local features such as summaries, translations, title suggestions, and reminder suggestions. BUILT FOR THE APPLE ECOSYSTEM Native app for iPhone, iPad, and Mac, with one Pro access across all your devices. Photos integration, duplicate-free iCloud import, widgets, and Share Sheet support. Available in 9 languages: FR, EN, IT, DE, ES, ZH, JA, KO, PT-BR. Privacy Policy: https://captainshot.ai/en/privacy/ Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
