Find any screenshot by the words in it.

Snapfind reads the text in every screenshot on your Mac. Type what you remember and the right one appears.

A real search. The line that matched is outlined on the screenshot and highlighted in its text.

Nothing to organise. Just type.

No tags, no albums, no renaming files. Point Snapfind at the folder your screenshots land in and it does the rest.

  1. Pick your folders

    Snapfind suggests the folder macOS saves screenshots to. Add any other folder with one click.

  2. Snapfind reads the text

    Apple's on-device text recognition reads each image, newest first. You can search while it works.

  3. Type what you remember

    Press ⌃ ⌥ S from any app. Partial words work, so boo finds "booking".

How it works in detail

Built for the moment you need that screenshot.

Every part of Snapfind is designed to get you from "I know I saved it" to the image in a couple of seconds.

See exactly where it matched

The preview outlines the matching lines on the image and lists all the recognised text, ready to select or copy.

Private by design

Always up to date

New screenshots are searchable seconds after you take them. Renamed and deleted files are picked up too.

Handles long captures

Tall, scrolling screenshots are read in sections, so text at the bottom of a long page is found too.
