A Mac screenshot workspace with on-device AI organization
Shotbase is a macOS screen-capture workspace: screenshots, screen recordings and web captures in one place, with annotation, animation, visual editing, searchable organization and instant sharing built into one workflow. The differentiator is private AI running locally on Apple Silicon — auto-naming, tagging, summarizing and organizing your captures without anything leaving your Mac. 7-day free trial, no card.
Screenshot chaos is a real disease for anyone who captures for a living, and local-first AI organization addresses the two blockers at once: the mess and the privacy of what's in it (screenshots are surprisingly sensitive — they capture whatever was on your screen).
Who it's for: developers and designers whose desktop is a graveyard of "Screenshot 2026-09-21 at 11.42.13", support teams documenting bugs, and PMs sharing captures hourly. The search-your-screenshots memory is the killer feature — being able to find "that error message from last Tuesday" by content is worth the subscription alone. Pro plan currently 25% off.
