Shotbox turns your screenshots into things you can act on. Open Shotbox and your new screenshots are already there, read on your phone. Shotbox finds the links, prices, dates, addresses, phone numbers, codes and store names inside them, and suggests a bucket for each one. You confirm or change it with a swipe. Nothing is filed without your say. Act in one tap - Open a link, get directions, or add an event to your calendar, with a preview before anything is saved - Copy a code, a price or an address straight from the screenshot - Track a return, with reminders 7, 3 and 1 day before the deadline and on the day - Keep anything active with a note and a reminder; overdue items come first Ask AI Copy an item's details and open ChatGPT or Claude in one tap. Turn on sync in Settings to use it. Send it where you work Apple Notes, WhatsApp, Notion (iOS 17.4 or later), Markdown, and receipts straight to Google Sheets. Your week, at a glance After your first 10 sorted screenshots, Insights shows weekly patterns from your screenshots and a Brief of what needs your attention. Turn on an optional daily recap. Private by design Text recognition runs on your phone and screenshot images are never uploaded. Sync is optional and off by default; when you turn it on, it sends text and details, never images. Lock Shotbox with Face ID. Subscription Shotbox is a subscription with monthly and yearly plans. Eligible new subscribers start with a free trial.
