Your screenshots, searchable. Shotsort reads the text inside your screenshots, so you can find the one you need by typing what it said. Type "refund" and get the receipt back. FIND IT BY WHAT IT SAID Search matches the words inside the image, not the filename. Every hit is highlighted so you can see why a shot matched before you open it. SORTED WITHOUT YOU DOING ANYTHING Every screenshot lands in one of eight categories β€” Receipts, Links, Addresses, Recipes, Chats, Code, Tickets, Other. Receipts show their amount and merchant right on the thumbnail. Tickets show their date. Links show their domain. Move any shot by hand if you disagree. CLEAR OUT THE PILE Review three kinds of screenshots: ones taken more than 30 days ago that you haven't opened in Shotsort, retakes of the same screen taken within a minute, and tickets whose date has passed. Nothing is ever deleted automatically. You review each pile before confirming deletion through Photos. ON THE HOME SCREEN See how many older screenshots you haven't opened in Shotsort with a Home Screen widget. NOTHING LEAVES THIS IPHONE No server. No account. No analytics. No third-party SDKs. Shotsort makes no network requests at all β€” it works in airplane mode. It asks for your photo library because iOS cannot grant access to a single album, and it only ever opens the Screenshots album. On supported iPhones, Shotsort can use Apple's on-device model for sharper sorting when Apple Intelligence is available. Search, cleanup, widgets and rule-based sorting work without it. Requires iOS 26 or later.
