Compare · vs Keep It Shot
Keep It Shot and Pizazoo both apply AI to Mac screenshots, but they differ in where it runs and what it produces: Keep It Shot sends each image to OpenAI for a new filename; Pizazoo processes everything on your Mac. Keep It Shot writes new filenames; Pizazoo builds a searchable index plus a review and category workflow.
TL;DR: Keep It Shot sends screenshots to OpenAI's GPT-4 Vision to generate descriptive filenames and keywords, then keeps a local search index. Pizazoo uses on-device AI, with nothing sent to a cloud AI, to auto-categorize screenshots and make every word inside them searchable. If your pain is "screenshots have meaningless filenames" pick Keep It Shot; if your pain is "I cannot find old screenshots" pick Pizazoo.

Common questions
If you live in Finder, renaming (Keep It Shot) helps. If you find things faster via search, organizing + indexing (Pizazoo) helps. Some people use both: Keep It Shot for renames, Pizazoo for library.

No. Keep It Shot sends each screenshot to OpenAI GPT-4 Vision to generate a name (it says neither it nor OpenAI stores your images); its search index is local. Pizazoo's OCR and categorization run entirely on your Mac.
Pizazoo. Its bulk import + OCR + auto-category workflow is designed for libraries of 3,000+ files. Keep It Shot can bulk-rename, but rename alone does not give you content search.
