Every screenshot you've ever taken.
Instantly searchable.
SnapSaw automatically indexes text, visuals, and app metadata for every capture. Find any detail in seconds with semantic search—100% private and runs locally on your PC.
Works with everything on your screen
Search by what you remember, not what you named it.
SnapSaw uses advanced local AI to index every word, image, and shape on your screen. Just describe it in plain English.
Type a quick query:
Screenshot_2024_11_14.png
A Pictures folder with 2,000 unnamed files. Windows Search that can only find text in filenames. Twenty minutes of scrubbing thumbnails to find the invoice you took three months ago.
“the AWS bill from October”
Every screenshot arrives with a title, a description, tags, and a category. Search by what's in the picture, not what you named it. Under a second — from a database that lives on your PC.
See SnapSaw in Action
Watch this walkthrough to see how SnapSaw runs silently in the background, indexes screenshots instantly, and retrieves what you need in seconds.
A memory layer for everything on your screen.
SnapSaw sits quietly in the tray. Every capture — no matter which app it came from — becomes searchable within seconds, on device.
Search in plain English
"the invoice my client sent", "that blue Nike shoes", "the PM2 error from yesterday" — SnapSaw understands intent, not just keywords.
AI Vision + OCR
Reads every word on screen and understands what's in the picture — logos, colors, layout, faces.
Captures the way you already work
Win+Shift+S, PrintScreen, or drop into a watched folder.
Rich auto-memory
Each shot gets a title, description, tags, and category — written the moment you take it.
Instant retrieval, even at 3,000 shots
Sub-second search across every screenshot you've ever taken — no cloud round-trip.
Private by design
Your library lives in a local database on your PC. Never sold, never mined, exportable any time.
Three steps to a perfect memory.
Capture
Take a screenshot the way you already do — Win+Shift+S, PrintScreen, or drop an image into a watched folder.
SnapSaw remembers
AI reads the text, sees the image, and writes a title, description, tags, and category — all in the background.
Find it in seconds
Open SnapSaw and describe what you remember. First result is almost always the one you wanted.

Designers, developers, and knowledge workers who stopped renaming things.
ok i was skeptical but i typed the error from tuesday and it just... found it. the actual screenshot. i never named a single file
my pictures folder has like 4000 screenshots. found a wifi password i screenshotted in january in two seconds lol
the fact that everything stays on my own pc and not in someones cloud is the only reason i installed it. still using it 3 weeks later
searched blue sneakers and it pulled up the nike page i screenshotted last month. that word is not in the filename. not even on the page title
i screenshot recipes instead of bookmarking them like a normal person. this app was basically made for me
win shift s and its already indexed by the time i alt tab back. how. genuinely how

Your library stays on your device.
Every screenshot and its search index live in a private SQLite database on your own PC — never on our servers. New captures are analyzed over a secure connection, then everything stays local to you. Export or delete anytime.
