About
SnapGrep is the fastest way to find a screenshot you remember but cannot locate. Type any text that appeared in a screenshot — an error message, a URL, a name, a code snippet — and SnapGrep surfaces it instantly.
Powered entirely by Apple's on-device Vision framework. Your images never leave your device. No account required. No internet connection needed.
--- WHAT IT DOES --- SnapGrep OCR-indexes your screenshot library and makes it fully searchable by text content. Results appear as a grid with text snippets highlighted so you can see exactly where the match is.
Tap any result to see the full screenshot with the search term highlighted. Share directly from the preview.
--- PRO FEATURES --- Upgrade once to unlock:
- Saved searches — bookmark queries you run repeatedly (error patterns, credentials, iOS versions)
- Search history — every search saved, tap to re-run
- Batch export — select multiple results and share them together
- Background indexing — new screenshots indexed automatically as they arrive
--- PRIVACY FIRST --- All OCR processing happens on-device using Apple's Vision framework. SnapGrep never connects to the internet, never sends your images anywhere, and never collects any data.
Built for developers, researchers, students — anyone who accumulates screenshots as a reference tool.
