Your images never leave your device

Find any screenshot again, in seconds.

ScreenSort reads the words inside every screenshot on your device and files them into folders you'd actually make. One sitting turns a decade of camera-roll clutter into a library you can search — and finally delete from.

Free to start · No app install · Works on 25,000+ files

The situation

12,847 screenshots. Zero folders. Good luck.

Every screenshot you take is a note to yourself that you will never read again. The recipe, the receipt, the apartment listing, the flight confirmation, the article you saved at 1am — all of it sitting in one endless grid sorted only by date, with a filename that tells you nothing.

You don't need another photo app. You need the thing you screenshotted, back in your hands, in five seconds.

Product in use

Three steps, one sitting

No tagging, no manual sorting, no waiting on an upload bar.

01

Point it at your screenshots

Choose the folder your screenshots already live in, or add them directly. Nothing is copied, nothing is uploaded, and on most browsers the choice is remembered so next time is a single click.

screensort.app/local

Choose your folder

Files stay exactly where they are — ScreenSort reads them in place.

Add screenshots

Kept privately on your own device, never on our servers.

02

It reads every word, right on your device

Your screenshots stay where they are while it works through them. There's no upload bar to wait on, it keeps going without a connection, and progress is saved continuously — walk away and come back whenever you like.

Running on your own device. Close the tab and it resumes where it stopped.

03

Folders appear, named like you'd name them

Receipts, recipes, travel, work — sorted by what each screenshot actually says, not by the date you happened to take it. Anything it isn't sure about waits in Needs review instead of landing in the wrong place.

The outcome

Everything becomes findable

You stop searching for a picture and start searching for the words that were in it.

screensort.app/local — search
confirmation number38 results
Receipts

Order confirmation number 8841-A · Total $128.40 · Delivered Tue

Travel

Booking confirmation number LH4402 · Seat 14C · Boarding 07:20

Work

Your confirmation number is WK-2291. Keep it for support requests.

  • Search the words that were in the picture

    Type “confirmation number”, “sourdough”, “rent”, a street name, or someone's handle — you get the screenshot back, whatever it was called.

  • Instant results, no connection needed

    Your library lives with you, so results come back the moment you type — on a train, on a plane, anywhere.

  • See the screenshot and its words together

    Open any screenshot beside the text found in it, and give a blurry one another pass if it came out garbled.

The outcome

You can finally delete

Clearing thousands of dead screenshots stops being a weekend project.

  • Select thousands at once

    Shift-click a range, ⌘-click to toggle, or select every result in the current filter — “all 2,140 memes”, gone in one action.

  • Bulk move and bulk folder creation

    Move a selection into an existing folder, or spin a new folder out of whatever you have highlighted.

  • Honest deletion

    Screenshots you added are erased for real. Ones read from your own folder are gathered into a single _ScreenSort_Delete folder, so you empty it once in Finder instead of tapping through thousands.

  • Undo for ten seconds

    Every bulk action can be taken back, and you can see it happening. No irreversible mystery actions.

The promise underneath

Your screenshots are the most private thing on your phone.

Bank balances, medical results, DMs, addresses. ScreenSort's default mode never uploads a single picture — the reading happens on your own device, and only the words are ever used to decide which folder something belongs in.

Exactly what is and isn't sent
  • Your pictures stay on your device — always, by default
  • The reading happens on your device, not on our servers
  • Only words are used to sort — never the picture itself
  • Your folders and library stay with you, not with us
  • Syncing across devices is opt-in, never the default
