Feature · AI categories
Every screenshot sorted into a category, on your device.
Categorization works in two layers, both on your device. First, Pizazoo scores each screenshot on the text it reads, what Apple’s Vision framework recognizes in the image, the file name and the screenshots you have already sorted. Then, if your device has Apple Intelligence, Apple’s on-device model reviews that pick. Without it, the first layer decides on its own, so categorization works on every supported device.
TL;DR: 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.

Common questions
FAQ
How does Pizazoo categorize screenshots automatically?
In two layers, both on your device. First it scores each screenshot on the text it reads, what Apple’s Vision framework recognizes in the image, the file name, its visual similarity to built-in examples and to screenshots you have already sorted, and, on a Mac, the app that was in front when you took it. Then, on devices with Apple Intelligence, Apple’s on-device model reviews that pick. If nothing fits, the screenshot goes to Uncategorized.
Do I need Apple Intelligence to categorize screenshots automatically?
No. On a Mac, iPhone or iPad without Apple Intelligence (an older OS version, a device that is not eligible, or the feature turned off), the on-device scoring layer picks the category on its own. With Apple Intelligence, Apple’s on-device model takes a second look at each pick, and on macOS 27 and iOS 27 it sees the screenshot image as well as its text. Without it, custom-category matching is deliberately cautious and only files a screenshot when the evidence is clear.
What categories does Pizazoo sort screenshots into?
Thirteen built-in categories: Code, Documents, Receipts, Design, Chats, Errors, Payments, Travel, Shopping, Social, Settings, Media and Articles, plus Uncategorized for anything that does not fit. With Pro you can add your own custom categories, as many as you like.
Can I change a screenshot’s category?
Yes, for free, at any time. On a Mac, use the Category menu in the inspector, or recategorize in the review popup that appears after each capture. On iPhone and iPad, use the Category picker in a screenshot’s details, or categorize a new screenshot straight from its notification on the Lock Screen. Pizazoo uses your corrections as examples when it sorts similar screenshots later.
Are my screenshots uploaded for AI categorization?
No. Text recognition, image analysis and categorization all run on your device, and the Apple Intelligence step uses Apple’s on-device model. There is no Pizazoo server and no account. If you turn on iCloud Sync (Pro, off by default), your library syncs through your own private iCloud.
Are custom categories free?
Custom categories are part of Pizazoo Pro, a one-time purchase with no subscription: from $15 for Mac (with Pro on the same number of iPhones or iPads included), or from $14.99 in the iPhone and iPad app. Pro includes unlimited custom categories. Describe each one in your own words and Pizazoo files matching new screenshots there, and Apply to Existing Screenshots sorts the ones you already have. The 13 built-in categories and manual changes stay free.
