Features
Organize, search, and edit, all on your Mac.
Pizazoo auto-categorizes every screenshot and makes it searchable by the text inside it, on-device with Apple's Vision AI. When you need to, a full markup editor lets you annotate, redact, watermark, and sign. Processing stays on your Mac, and optional iCloud Sync (Pro) brings the same library to iPhone and iPad.
A screenshot is useful for about five seconds unless the app helps you find it later.
Search
Find screenshots by the words inside them.
Pizazoo indexes visible text so screenshots become searchable by error messages, receipts, buttons, headings, names, order numbers, and notes.
- On-device text recognition
- Search result snippets where available
- Filter by category, date, tag, and favorite
- Saved searches in Pro
- Useful for code, receipts, documents, chats, and UI references
- order #4821
- navigation prototype
- April invoice
- release notes
Finder remembers dates. Pizazoo remembers what was on the screen.
Library
A library built for visual recall.
Screenshots are visual. Pizazoo keeps them browsable with categories, previews, filters, favorites, cleanup controls, and Pro tagging that match how people actually look for captures.
- Categories
- Tags in Pro
- Favorites
- Date filters
- Duplicate-aware imports
- Related screenshots with a match percentage
- Desktop cleanup controls
- Large visual previews
The screenshot is no longer a loose file. It has text, context, and a place to live.
Review
Review a screenshot while the context is still in your head.
The review popup appears after capture so you can confirm the category, rename the item, add a tag (Pro), favorite it, or open the library without hunting through Desktop files.
- Suggested category based on visible content
- Quick actions for favorite, rename, open, or ignore
- Corrections make the next review faster
- Popup stays out of the screenshot itself
- Works with the screenshot folder you already use
The moment after capture is the only time filing feels easy.

And a full editor when a screenshot needs more than filing.
Open any screenshot to annotate it, redact sensitive info, add a watermark or signature, fix perspective, or lift a subject. Everything is non-destructive: the original stays intact.
- Annotate: text, arrows, shapes, ink, highlights
- Privacy: redact, blur, pixelate, auto-redact PII, QR auto-blur
- Branding: watermark, trackpad-captured signature, step badges
- Vision-powered: background removal, lift subject, perspective fix, smart straighten
- Non-destructive: the original screenshot stays untouched
Edit and organize in the same app, without ever leaving your library.
Privacy
Local first by design.
Screenshots can contain client work, personal messages, account details, receipts, and private research. Pizazoo is designed around local processing for the core organization workflow.
- Text recognition runs on your Mac with macOS built-in APIs.
- Library data is stored locally for the app workflow.
- Account is not required for the free core workflow.
- Cloud upload is not required for screenshot organization.
- Checkout and licensing use the website only when you choose to purchase or restore.
Your Mac can organize the library without sending the screenshots away.
iPhone & iPad
The same organizer on iPhone and iPad.
Pizazoo for iOS sorts the screenshots already in your photo library with the same on-device AI, categories, and text search as the Mac app, plus a touch-first markup editor. Available on the App Store.
- On-device AI categorization. Processing stays on your iPhone.
- Search by the text inside screenshots, including from Spotlight and Siri
- Markup editor: draw, text, steps, redact, crop, beautify, translate
- Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets, share-sheet import, rich notifications
- Related screenshots, plus shared sets with other Pizazoo users (Pro)
- Optional iCloud sync between devices, private to your Apple account
- Native iPad layout with a sidebar built for bigger screens
Most screenshots are taken on a phone. Now the library lives there too.

Deep dives
Go deeper on each feature
Focused pages for text search, automatic categories and the markup tools, with FAQs and an interactive preview.
A full markup editor inside your screenshot library.
Open any screenshot in Pizazoo and a non-destructive editor opens beside it: arrows, text, shapes, ink, redact, blur, watermark, signature, step badges, magnifier, spotlight, perspective fix, background removal. The original stays untouched and the edited version becomes part of your searchable library.

Pizazoo redacts sensitive parts of a screenshot in two ways: manually (drag a Black bar, Blur or Pixelate region) and automatically (Auto-Redact for personal info, plus Blur QR Codes). Everything runs on your Mac (no cloud upload), and the original stays intact so you can revert later.
Read more →Feature · SignatureCapture your signature on your Mac trackpad.
Pizazoo lets you capture a signature with your Mac’s trackpad, save it for reuse, and drop it onto any screenshot or image, with size, position, and opacity control. Stored only on your Mac. No iCloud sync. No Preview workflow needed.
Read more →Feature · VisionLift a subject. Remove a background. On your Mac.
Pizazoo uses Apple’s on-device Vision framework to remove the background from a screenshot or lift a specific subject in one click, with no Photoshop, no upload, and a transparent PNG export. Works on photos pasted into your screenshot library as well.
Read more →Feature · OCR searchFind any screenshot by the words inside it.
Pizazoo reads the text in every screenshot it imports with Apple’s on-device Vision text recognition, on Mac, iPhone and iPad, and makes it searchable: type any word you remember and the screenshot appears. It is free, detects each screenshot’s language automatically, uploads nothing, and on iPhone and iPad the text is searchable from Spotlight too.
Read more →Feature · AI categoriesEvery screenshot sorted into a category, on your device.
Pizazoo sorts each screenshot into one of 13 built-in categories (Code, Documents, Receipts, Design, Chats, Errors, Payments, Travel, Shopping, Social, Settings, Media, Articles) on your Mac, iPhone or iPad. It analyzes the text and image on the device, adds Apple Intelligence where available, and uploads nothing. Changing a category is free; Pro adds unlimited custom categories.
