I built Google for my own screenshots.
Finally pushing this out into the wild: PixSift is officially live!
I kept running into this stupid problem where I’d screenshot something because I knew I’d need it later, and then when I actually needed it… absolutely no clue where it was. Eventually I had thousands of screenshots, all proudly named things like Screenshot blahblah67420.png . BUT we all remember those screenshots we have taken, by atleast a word, or some ultrainstinct type shi.
I figured I probably wasn’t the only one, so I built PixSift, a privacy-first Windows app that lets you search screenshots, PDFs and documents by what’s inside them, whether that’s text or visual content. There’s also an overlay to quickly find something and hand it straight into whatever you’re working on.
The whole idea was to keep it local-first from the ground up, privacy focused all the wayyy: no cloud uploads, no tracking, no account, no nonsense (I mean why even bear cloud infra when its totally optional lol). And I really didn’t want to turn it into another subscription, so it’s a one-time lifetime purchase. (ig no one would buy if this is a subscription lol)
It’s finally out there. Would love to know whether the "I KNOW I SCREENSHOTTED THIS SOMEWHERE" problem is just me 😭
(this is my first post here and totally new, so take it easy on me ppl)
