Find and organize captures#

Search by filename, application, tags, recognized text, or AI description. Use Details and tags to add tags and favorites, or organize multiple selected captures into a project. Save searches you use often.

Search understands ordinary words, quoted phrases, and filters such as project:, tag:, app:, type:, and text:. For example, project:website tag:bug narrows the library to captures matching both filters.

Saved captures stay searchable beyond the recent-history limit by default. History trimming does not delete your saved capture files. With file saving disabled, temporary captures can be removed when their history entries are trimmed.

Pin, compare, and protect your library#

Pin image keeps a capture on top of other windows. Adjust its opacity or temporarily enable click-through; a separate Resume control and a 20-second timeout let you regain input.

Ctrl-select two same-size screenshots and choose Compare selected screenshots. Switch between before/after/diff views, use synchronized zoom and a swipe slider, and adjust tolerance, alignment, or ignored rectangles. Set project baselines for repeat comparisons. Export local JSON/PNG reports when you need evidence of a change.

Open Library to clean up storage, back up or restore files, locate missing files, and export or delete items. Originals are optional in backups. Restores keep existing files unchanged. Deleting originals permanently removes their editable history.
