gyotaku: Ctrl-F for your screenshots
An offline, open-source desktop app that searches screenshots by remembered text, with builds for macOS, Windows, and Linux.
- For
- People searching their own screenshots by remembered text
- Worth noticing
- Its live demo shows OCR near-matches for “inv0ice” and folds six scrolling-chat captures into one tile.
Field notes
The page includes a live search demo, not just static product shots: sample queries surface exact and near OCR matches, including the deliberately confusable “inv0ice.” Another interaction groups six screenshots from a scrolling chat into one tile, with a Ctrl-E control to unfold related captures. A box-selection example copies text from a chosen screenshot region or a single line. The site labels the app free, open source, offline, and available for three desktop operating systems.
