Use case

Search text inside screenshots on Mac

Caplio uses on-device OCR to extract text from screenshots and images, then adds that text to a local search index on your Mac.

That means you can search for a word, number, URL, or phrase that appears inside an image — not only in the filename.

The problem

Important details often live inside screenshots: error messages, receipts, UI copy, chat snippets, or design notes. Finder and Photos usually cannot search that text. Caplio can.
