Shelfie vs Captured!

Shelfie turns your screenshot and photo chaos into an organized, searchable library — powered entirely by on-device Apple Intelligence. Nothing ever leaves your iPhone. Every image you import is automatically analyzed, tagged, and categorized using Apple's Vision, Natural Language, and Foundation Models frameworks. Screenshots, photos, receipts, whiteboards, documents, signs, handwritten notes — Shelfie knows what it's looking at and makes it instantly findable. INTELLIGENT ORGANIZATION • Works on both screenshots and regular photos — the picker defaults to screenshots but you can toggle to your full photo library • Auto-categorization into 19 smart categories: Receipts, Conversations, Articles, Code, Maps, Social Media, Email, Calendar, Settings, Shopping, Travel, Health, Finance, Food, Documents, Entertainment, Education, Music, and Other • AI-generated tags, one-sentence summaries, and key highlights (prices, dates, action items) • Entity extraction — people, places, and organizations pulled automatically • Tappable detected data — URLs open Safari, phone numbers dial, addresses jump to Apple Maps POWERFUL SEARCH • Full-text search across every pixel of OCR-extracted text — screenshots, signs, receipts, handwriting • Smart AI search understands natural language: "receipts from last week", "photos of whiteboards", "messages from John" • Spotlight integration — find any image straight from your Home Screen • Siri Shortcuts: "Search images in Shelfie", "Find image in Shelfie" VISUAL DISCOVERY • Similar images surface automatically using visual fingerprinting • Content Graph — explore your library as a constellation of related ideas • Auto-generated Collections plus custom Groups for manual organization PRODUCTIVITY TOOLS • Your Context — tell Shelfie about yourself (work, hobbies, life) and Apple Intelligence writes tags, descriptions, and group names that actually fit you. Stays on your device, syncs only via your private iCloud • Combine multi-page screenshots into a single item — drag to reorder, Apple Intelligence suggests the right top-to-bottom order, and overlapping OCR text is deduplicated. Originals are kept and back-linked • Multi-select mode to summarize several images into a single AI briefing with themes and action items • Quote Card Generator creates shareable image cards in five styles and three sizes • Share Sheet support — send screenshots and photos to Shelfie from any app • Editable personal notes on every image • Import up to 50 images at once from the photo library, take a new one with the camera, paste from the clipboard, or share up to 10 at a time. After importing from Photos, Shelfie can offer to delete the originals so you free up space • Automatic screenshot detection (optional) — Shelfie spots new screenshots on your phone, shows how many are waiting, and adds them in one tap. A gentle notification can remind you when a few have piled up • Imports are fast: images appear immediately and AI analysis continues in the background while you browse PRIVACY FIRST All image analysis happens on-device. No cloud AI. No ads. No cross-app tracking. Your images — and everything Shelfie learns about them — stay yours. Your library syncs across your Apple devices through your own private iCloud container, which only your devices can read. Shelfie collects anonymous, non-tracking usage analytics — which features get used, never your images or their contents — to guide what we improve next. REQUIREMENTS • iOS 26 or later • Apple Intelligence-capable device (iPhone 15 Pro or newer) for summaries, smart search, and quote generation • OCR, categorization, and similarity features work on all supported devices • No account required Stop scrolling through Photos looking for that one image. Let Shelfie find it for you.

Tired of losing links, photos, videos, audio, files or texts shared from your apps? Captured is your universal clipboard. Tap Share from any app and choose Captured — everything is instantly saved, previewed and enriched, on-device by default. UNIVERSAL CAPTURE Accepts URLs, photos, videos, audio, files and text from any app. Automatic source detection (Safari, YouTube, Instagram, X, Photos...). AUTO-GENERATED PREVIEWS Every item gets a thumbnail: web pages via live browser, photos/videos from first frame, files via QuickLook, audio as waveform, text as typographic render. Thumbnail gallery with on-demand regeneration. AI DESCRIPTION, OCR & TRANSCRIPTION AI image/video description: Apple Vision (free, on-device), OpenAI GPT-4 Vision or Anthropic Claude. Built-in OCR on photos and videos. Audio speech-to-text transcription — all on-device by default, no cloud required. SMART ORGANIZATION Folders with batch move/delete and drag-and-drop reorder. Smart Views: All, Recent (7 days), Unread, With Location, With AI. Configurable sort: manual, newest, oldest, title, source. Filter by type: URL, file, photo, video, audio, text. FULL-TEXT SEARCH & SPOTLIGHT Instant search across titles, URLs, notes, AI descriptions and transcriptions. All items indexed in system Spotlight — searchable from the home screen. RICH METADATA Auto-fetch of web page title and last-modified date (bold title signals updated content). Reverse geocoding of GPS coordinates in photos. WIDGET WidgetKit widget in small, medium and large sizes showing unread items in real time. BACKUP & RESTORE Full JSON export/import (items, folders, settings, thumbnails) with Replace or Merge mode. PRIVACY All your data stays on your device. No account, no server, no ads. Network calls only when you explicitly enable web fetching or AI description via your own API key. iCloud sync, folder by folder Choose exactly which folders you want to find on your other devices. A long press on a folder offers "Sync with iCloud": its photos, videos, files and links — including previews — automatically appear on your iPhone, iPad and Mac linked to the same Apple account. Folders that are not synced remain strictly local. A "Resync iCloud" option lets you reconcile state across devices in one gesture. Link previews: lock, zoom, crop You can now lock a link's preview so it never changes, or enlarge the preview by a factor of 2 to better see thumbnails from your favorite sites. A new setting automatically crops the white or black bands surrounding some previews. Organization: everything by drag-and-drop Reorganize your folders by dragging them in the sidebar. Move an item from one folder to another simply by dragging it onto the destination folder. No more drop-down menus. Paste a link from the clipboard A new menu entry lets you directly add the currently copied link, without going through another app's "Share" menu. Manage your space better The info panel now shows the space used in iCloud when sync is active. A long press on each line gives access to quick actions. The "Delete local data only" option frees up space while keeping your synced folders intact.
