"I know I saw that somewhere..." This is You, five minutes ago. Stop the scroll of death. ScreenSorts is the offline-first organizer that gives your Mac a photographic memory. Find that one chart, that specific tweet, or that buried hex code in seconds. Local AI power. Total privacy. Total control.
Hey Product Hunt! 👋
I’m Nalin, the maker of Screensorts.
Like many of you, my desktop used to be a graveyard of 'Screen Shot 202X-XX-XX...' files. I’d capture a design inspo, a code snippet, or a receipt, only to never find it again when I actually needed it.
I built Screensorts to fix my own workflow. I wanted something that didn’t just store images, but actually understood them.
Why Screensorts?
Semantic Search: Search for 'that blue landing page' or 'database schema' it finds the content, not just the filename.
Privacy First: Everything happens locally on your Mac. No images are ever uploaded to a server.
Auto-Magic: It tags and organizes your captures into collections automatically using local AI.
I’m a Software Engineer by day, but I’m building this as an indie project because I’m obsessed with clean, native macOS experiences.
I’ll be here all day to answer your questions and take feature requests. I’d love to hear how you currently manage your screenshots (or if you’ve given up and just let them pile up like I did!).
Looking forward to your feedback! 🚀

Does it use AI to identify what is in the image completelly? Or do I need to add to the image some tag manually?
Because this idea is mind blowing (I have that problem) :D
@busmark_w_nika Hi Nika ! Yes, it uses 2 layers of AI to identify the images. Its could process the OCR automatically, and detect the visual objects on the second layer. And nothing requires manual intervention ; )

@nalin_rajendran Cool, this is a neat idea :) Indeed.
@busmark_w_nika Thanks ; ) !!

@nalin_rajendran You're welcome :)
Tone is surprisingly hard to catch when you’re tired or emotional. Anything that helps surface that earlier is valuable.
@social_layer Got it dude ! Will work on that ; )
This can be useful. I like the idea and it looks well executed.
I myself take a lot of screenshots and use them as reminders or notes, but I mainly do that on my iPhone. Sometimes I find myself using the search feature integrated into Apple Photos app in a similar way to your app.
When on MacOS, I actually don't pile up a lot of screenshots as many people do, tho.
For personal usage, I actually wanted to build a very similar app to retrieve videos instead of screenshots.
@emanuele_click Sure Emanuele ! We are working to extend ScreenSorts to work with video footages too. Stay tuned for more updates ; )
