Thousands of screenshots. One clear index. Pocket Index turns the screenshots you choose into a private, searchable library. Text recognition runs on your device, then screenshots are automatically grouped into useful collections: food and places, products, trips, documents, receipts and payments, messages, ideas, and more. Find what you saved using the details you remember — a restaurant, product, price, address, ticket, or words visible in the image. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Scan all screenshots or only selected photos • Search recognized text, categories, prices, addresses, and tags • Correct a category manually and keep your choice • Save important screenshots to Favorites • Browse collections and recently added items • Copy recognized text from any screenshot • Rescan your library or clear the local index at any time PRIVATE BY DESIGN Recognition, sorting, previews, and search happen locally.

Just a fast, private way to find what you saved. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
