Features
Read full description

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. Your screenshots and searches are not uploaded to Pocket Index. Originals stay in Photos and are never changed. No account or cloud connection is required. Just a fast, private way to find what you saved. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
