Short answer

Yes. SnapAction can scan selected or recent iPhone screenshots from Photos through PhotoKit. Users can start scans from the app gallery or supported iOS entrypoints such as App Shortcuts, the Action Button, and Control Center, with selected screenshots sent for backend AI analysis.

How recent screenshot scanning fits the workflow

SnapAction is designed for the moment after you capture something useful. You can scan screenshots from the app gallery, process recent screenshots, or use supported iOS system entrypoints to trigger a scan faster.

During a scan, selected screenshots are sent to the backend for AI analysis. The resulting resource cards are stored locally with SwiftData, including metadata, tags, screenshot references, and one-tap actions.
