Natural-language image search

Ask for screenshots in plain English.

ScreenVault combines Apple Vision text recognition, local full-text search, metadata, notes, tags, date understanding, and optional meaning-based retrieval. Instead of remembering filenames, you can search for what you were doing: “the ESP32 board,” “receipt for the sensor,” “dashboard with payroll errors,” or “travel confirmation from July.”
