A free, open-source desktop app for macOS and Linux that captures screenshots and makes them searchable with on-device OCR.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-24 issue.

For: Mac and Linux users organizing reference screenshots
Worth noticing: The stated search spans recognized text, titles, descriptions, filenames, notes, tags, and capture type.

Field notes

The page lays out a three-step flow: capture an area or full display, run local OCR and metadata handling, then search, copy, or drag the result into another app. Its sample library shows SQLite plus PNG storage, and search fields spanning recognized text, titles, descriptions, filenames, notes, tags, and capture type. It says semantic descriptions are optional and off by default, using a loopback-only service when enabled.
