Real product screenshots
Natural-language search, visual memory, and review workflows.
Click any screenshot to zoom in. ScreenVault is built around asking for images the way you remember them, then grounding results in recognized text, dates, filenames, tags, notes, apps, websites, and local metadata.
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.”
Plain-English queries
Search for “find my Amazon receipts from June,” “screenshots about ESP32,” or “that login error” and ScreenVault normalizes the request into searchable concepts.
Meaning plus exact text
Use exact words from screenshots when they matter, and optional meaning-based search when you remember the idea but not the words.
Quick Search
Use the menu bar or keyboard shortcut for a fast floating palette without opening the main dashboard.
Major features

How ScreenVault is different
More than folders, filenames, or OCR alone.
ScreenVault is built for the moment when you remember what a screenshot meant, but not what it was called or where it was saved. It combines multiple local signals to find the strongest match while keeping review and control with you.
Search by meaning and evidence
Use optional on-device meaning-based retrieval alongside Apple Vision OCR, filenames, dates, tags, notes, app names, websites, and document types. Exact text still matters when you know it.
A private local index
Your screenshot library, thumbnails, recognized text, metadata, and search index are designed to stay on your Mac. The core workflow requires no Evolute account and no screenshot upload path.
Retrieval plus review workflows
Quick Search, Smart Rename, Find Similar, collections, tags, notes, and reversible review help you act on results without automatically deleting or changing original files.
Smart Rename
Turn cryptic screenshot names into usable memory.
ScreenVault suggests meaningful filenames from OCR text, categories, extracted keywords, dates, and confidence scores. Review suggestions before applying them, batch-select what you want, and undo if needed.

Questions, answered
Know exactly what ScreenVault does before you download.
Clear answers about search, privacy, file safety, the trial, and the lifetime unlock.
How is ScreenVault different from a basic screenshot organizer?
ScreenVault combines optional on-device search by meaning with Apple Vision OCR, filenames, dates, tags, notes, app and website metadata, Quick Search, Smart Rename, Find Similar, and a private local index. It is designed to retrieve screenshots from what you remember, not only from folders or exact filenames.
Can ScreenVault find a screenshot if I do not remember its filename?
Yes. Ask in plain English. ScreenVault can search recognized text, meaning, dates, filenames, tags, notes, applications, websites, and document types to surface the screenshots that best match what you remember.
Does ScreenVault upload my screenshots?
No. Screenshots, thumbnails, recognized text, metadata, and the searchable library are designed to remain on your Mac. ScreenVault does not require an Evolute account for the local screenshot workflow.
Does meaning-based search require a cloud service?
Meaning-based search is optional and uses Apple-managed on-device models where available. Apple may download a required model to your Mac, but ScreenVault does not upload your screenshot library to Evolute for search.
Can ScreenVault rename or delete files without asking?
Rename suggestions and similarity findings are review-first. You choose what to apply, keep, or remove, and rename history supports undo where available. ScreenVault does not automatically delete original image files.
Which folders can ScreenVault watch?
You select the folders ScreenVault can access, such as Desktop, Downloads, a screenshot folder, or another location you choose. Folder access can be removed from the app’s privacy controls.
What happens after the 30-day trial?
Every feature is available during the 30-day trial. After the trial, the one-time ScreenVault Lifetime in-app purchase unlocks continued full access. There is no subscription.
Is the price the same in every country?
The U.S. price is $39.99. Apple may set localized prices and taxes by region, so the Mac App Store always shows the final price that applies to you.
What does ScreenVault require?
ScreenVault requires macOS 14 or later and access to the folders you choose. Some meaning-based search capabilities may also require Apple to make an on-device model available for your Mac.
