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.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Screenshot Notes at every 3 days against Construction Calculator's fortnightly. Screenshot Notes also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Construction Calculator's advantage is ratings volume (22 vs 2). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Construction Calculator sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days and Screenshot Notes sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Screenshot Notes holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Construction Calculator has 22 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 100% and 100% positive.
Construction Calculator ships an update fortnightly, Screenshot Notes every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on October 12, 2026 and October 19, 2026 respectively.
