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, or whatever else 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, receipts in Receipts, Slack threads in Chats) 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), then click Done (Pizazoo keeps the original, so edits stay changeable) or Save a copy to keep both.
- 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 processes everything on-device, with no account and no telemetry on the core workflow. iCloud Sync is optional (Pro) and off by default, so confidential captures stay on your Mac unless you turn it on.
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. Everything is 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, unlimited custom categories, and iCloud Sync, for 1, 3, or 5 Macs with the same number of iPhones or iPads included.
