Your screenshot folder is a second brain in disguise.

Screenshot Notes runs high-fidelity OCR on your iPhone screenshots and writes the extracted text as clean Markdown notes directly into your Obsidian vault.

Free during alpha · iOS only · Opens in iCloud

What it does

• Scans the screenshots you select from your Photos library and extracts the text using high-fidelity OCR.
• Writes one Markdown file per image to an ImportedNotes/ folder in the iCloud Drive location of your choice — including the root of your Obsidian vault.
• Appends a per-batch import log so you can see what ran, what succeeded, and what failed.
• Never edits or deletes existing notes. It only creates new files.

How to install

1. Tap the install button above on your iPhone. It opens the iCloud Shortcuts page for Screenshot Notes.
2. Tap Add Shortcut in the iOS prompt to install it.
3. Open the Shortcut once to set your vault folder — any iCloud Drive folder works, including your Obsidian vault.
4. Run it from the Shortcuts app, the Photos share sheet, or the Home Screen.

Privacy, plainly

Images are uploaded to a minimal backend for OCR and deleted immediately once text extraction succeeds. No accounts, no email, no password — a pseudonymous device token is all we use to route results back to your device.

Your vault lives on your own device in your own iCloud. We never see, index, or store it. Full details in the privacy policy.

This is alpha software

Screenshot Notes is in alpha. Expect rough edges. The ask isn't money — it's feedback. If you run into a bug, a weird OCR result, or an edge case that tripped it up, email jonah@clicktruemedia.com.
