Use case · Designers
Your UI reference library, organized automatically.
A designer’s screenshot folder is a moodboard nobody can search. Pizazoo turns it into a reference library: every capture is indexed by the text inside it the moment it lands, without uploading a single pixel anywhere.
TL;DR — Designers screenshot constantly — UI inspiration, type specimens, competitor flows, feedback rounds. Pizazoo watches your screenshot folder, OCR-indexes every capture on-device, auto-files design content into its Design category, and lets you pull up "that pricing page with the gradient cards" by searching the words you remember seeing.
Sound familiar?
- Hundreds of UI inspiration screenshots with names like "Screenshot 2026-04-12 at 09.31.55"
- You remember the words on the design — not when you captured it
- Competitor-research captures mixed in with receipts and chat logs
- Annotating feedback means round-tripping through Preview or a separate app
- Client work can’t go through cloud tools for confidentiality reasons
How Pizazoo fits
- Capture as usual. Keep using ⌘⇧4, CleanShot, Shottr — whatever you capture with. Pizazoo watches the save folder and imports automatically.
- Auto-filed by content. On-device AI assigns categories — UI captures land in Design, invoices in Finance, Slack threads in Conversations — so inspiration stays separated from noise.
- Find by what you saw. Search the words that were on the screen: a brand name, a headline, a button label. Apple Vision OCR indexes every screenshot at import.
- Annotate and share. Open any reference in the built-in markup editor — arrows, callouts, text, step badges — and export the annotated copy. The original stays untouched.
- Tag your systems (Pro). Tags and saved searches let you maintain living collections like "onboarding-flows" or "empty-states" that update as you capture.
Common questions
FAQ
Can Pizazoo find a screenshot by the text that was in the design?
Yes — that is the core feature. Every screenshot is OCR-indexed on import using Apple’s on-device Vision framework, so searching any word that appeared in the capture finds it.
Does client work stay private?
Yes. Pizazoo runs 100% on-device — no cloud upload, no account, no telemetry on the core workflow. Confidential client captures never leave your Mac.
Does it work with CleanShot X or Shottr captures?
Yes. Point Pizazoo at the folder your capture tool saves to and every capture is auto-imported and indexed. See /compare/cleanshot and /compare/shottr for how they pair.
Can I annotate design feedback inside Pizazoo?
Yes. The built-in markup editor covers arrows, text, shapes, callouts, highlights, and step badges, plus background removal and perspective fix powered by Apple Vision — all non-destructive.
Is there a free tier?
Yes. Automatic import, OCR search, built-in categories, the markup editor, and bulk import are free with no time limit. Pro (from $15 one-time) adds tags, saved searches, and custom categories.
