Your screenshots,
sorted instantly.

A quiet macOS menu bar app that watches for ⇧⌘4 screenshots, reads each one with on-device Vision and AI, and files it where it belongs. No cloud, no syncing, no telemetry.

Two sorting brains. One menu bar.

Smart Sorting

On Apple Silicon, the Qwen Vision model reads each screenshot — UI, code, receipts, chats — and picks the matching enabled category, with tags and visible text. Running through MLX, it stays on your machine. Custom categories are yours to define.

Quick Sorting

Apple's Vision framework pulls OCR, image tags, barcodes, and links. A scoring engine matches them against built-in categories — keywords, domains, layout cues. No model download, no cold start.

staging · quick look

Screenshot Box

A floating shelf for screenshots you just took. Triage, preview, drag, or send to a folder by hand. Items auto-clear after the timer you pick.

grdb · search · tags

Gallery + Calendar

A searchable, tagged gallery of every screenshot you've ever filed, indexed locally with GRDB. Browse by day or category, jump to duplicates, copy text out of any capture.

categories · rules

Editorial control

Add, rename, recolor categories and assign per-category target folders. Exclude noisy apps. Define subfolders. Everything is JSON on disk, easy to version-control.

03 how it works

A pipeline you can actually follow.

i

Watch

Pick one or more folders to monitor. SnapFold uses security-scoped bookmarks and a DispatchSource file watcher with a 200 ms debounce — so it reacts instantly without polling.

ii

Read

Each new screenshot runs through the pipeline: Vision OCR, image tags, barcodes, links, perceptual hash, then optional Qwen VL classification — all locally.

iii

Decide

A heuristic scorer plus your category rules pick the destination. You can override per-category targets, exclude apps, or pin custom categories.

iv

File

The screenshot moves into the right folder, the menu bar shows a calm 'filed' chip, and the calendar keeps a searchable history. No notifications by default.

04 privacy

Local. By construction.

No cloud

There is no SnapFold server, no model API, no telemetry endpoint. The binary doesn't ship with one.

No accounts

No login, no sync, no SaaS. Buy it once, use it forever — or join the waitlist to know when 'once' arrives.

Open about it

Categories, scoring rules, and folder destinations live in a JSON file you can read, audit, and version-control.
