Use case

Local OCR for Mac

Caplio provides local OCR for macOS. Text recognition runs on your Mac with Apple’s Vision framework, so screenshots and images become searchable without sending them to a cloud OCR service.

Your images, recognized text, and search index stay on your device.

The problem

Many OCR tools upload images to remote servers. If you care about privacy — or simply want OCR that works as part of a Mac screenshot library — you need on-device recognition that stays local.

Add recognized text to a private search index
Search inside screenshots and other supported images
Avoid cloud OCR and remote AI analysis of your library
Use Caplio offline for core processing, OCR, and local search
