Every iPhone has a thousand screenshots. The parking spot at the airport, the OTP from the bank, the auto driver's address, the kid's exam result, the prescription you snapped before the chemist closed. Photos already saves them. Finding them, three months later, is the problem. JunkDrawer indexes every screenshot you share to it - fully on your device - so you can find anything later. By word, by ₹ amount, or just by the vibe of what it was. WHAT IT DOES • OCR over English. Every word inside the screenshot becomes searchable. • Apple Intelligence classifies each screenshot - receipt, prescription, ticket, contact, invitation, social post, exam result, food, map, document, and more. • A one-line summary so you can skim a hundred screenshots without opening any. • Structured extraction. Phone numbers, OTPs, ₹ amounts, dates, addresses, UPI handles, IFSC codes, dosages, tracking numbers - pulled out as tappable pills. One tap to call, copy OTP, open Maps, copy the total. SEARCH THAT ACTUALLY WORKS Full-text + semantic + visual labels, all at once. Type "biryani" or "₹440" or "diabetes meds" - the right screenshot surfaces. No mode switching. No syntax. DOMAIN-AWARE • ₹ formats in lakhs and crores when they should. • UPI handles aren't treated as broken email addresses. • IFSC codes are first-class. • Phone numbers in +91 format pretty-print correctly. FULLY ON-DEVICE This matters more for screenshots than for almost any other category of personal data. Your screenshots are your bank app, your prescriptions, your OTPs. • No account, no cloud, no analytics, no telemetry. • OCR runs on Apple's Vision framework. Classification runs on Apple Foundation Models. Embeddings come from Apple's Natural Language framework. Nothing leaves your phone. • Delete the app and every screenshot it indexed is deleted with it. Your Photos library is never touched. • If iCloud Backup is on, your drawer rides to your next iPhone automatically. • Manual export creates a single .junkdrawer file you can stash anywhere — iCloud Drive, AirDrop to your Mac, email yourself. Tap one to import on a fresh install. HONEST ABOUT STATE • Pending screenshots show a small dot until they're analyzed. No fake completeness. • Settings tells you exactly which features are running and which aren't. • If the AI gets a kind wrong, change it from the screenshot's menu. Edit a wrong capture date the same way. WHAT IT ISN'T • Not another Photos app - your library stays where it is. • Not cloud sync (the schema is ready; sync ships in a later update). • Not a notes or journaling app. • Just one thing, done well. REQUIREMENTS Apple Intelligence required for full features (iPhone 15 Pro or later, iOS 26 recommended). Without it, full-text search and entity extraction still work on every screenshot - just no AI summaries or classification. Free forever, with an optional tip jar inside. Throw it in. Find it later.

There are insights that can only be discovered among the things you've saved. Every day you encounter countless pieces of information — but most of them slip away. Links stay in the browser, images in the gallery, notes in the notes app — and when you actually need them, they're nowhere to be found. InsightFlow brings your scattered insights together in one place, and lets AI find the connections hidden within them. ■ Effortless Saving Save links, images, and text in seconds. Use the share button from any app to save instantly. Add a note while saving so you never lose the context. ■ AI Insight Feed AI analyzes your saved content and surfaces related insights in your feed. It's not just a list — it's the experience of discovering connections between what you've collected. ■ Flow — Your Personal Knowledge Map Connect insights as nodes to build a visual knowledge structure. Add memos to connections to capture the context and relationship between two insights. As connections grow, AI synthesizes your ideas and suggests next action plans. Feel scattered thoughts come together into a single, coherent flow. ■ Reminder Insights you saved and forgot will find their way back to you. Set your preferred reminder frequency — daily, weekly, or biweekly. Experience the moment when an old insight returns with a whole new perspective. ■ Archist — Your Knowledge Journey The more you save and connect, the higher your level grows. Achievements stack up based on saves, connections, and depth of exploration — and your personal Archist rank evolves with you. Let the act of building knowledge become a journey of its own. ■ InsightFlow Pro Unlimited Flow connections, widgets, Notion/PDF export, and more. If you're ready to go deeper, try InsightFlow Pro. Value begins the moment you save. Start InsightFlow today. ——— Developer Contact: Temaworks 804, 124 Unjung-ro, Dongan-gu, Anyang-si, Gyeonggi-do, Republic of Korea alex@temaworks.com
