The screenshot is the save button. SnapAction is the follow-through.

SnapAction finds the resource inside an iPhone screenshot, recovers a missing link when possible, and saves the result as a searchable card with the next action ready.

What is SnapAction?

SnapAction is a native iOS productivity app for people who use screenshots as temporary bookmarks. Instead of leaving those screenshots as another image in Photos, SnapAction turns the main item inside each image into a typed resource card.

Each card can preserve a title, verified URL, resource type, description, tags, metadata, favorite/read state, and links back to the original screenshot asset. The goal is not to replace notes or bookmarks; it is to recover the useful resource hidden inside the screenshot.

Who it is for

Save papers, article threads, references, citations, tools, and reading material without manually rebuilding context later.

Developers and builders

Mobile knowledge workers

Turn events, places, invoices, contacts, travel bookings, products, todos, and notes into something searchable and actionable.

The screenshot-to-action pipeline

1

Scan selected or recent screenshots

SnapAction reads screenshot assets from Photos through PhotoKit. You can scan from the app gallery, process recent screenshots, or trigger the latest screenshot through App Shortcuts, the Action Button, or Control Center.

2

Extract the primary resource

A Convex-backed screenshot agent uses OpenRouter to identify the main 1–3 resources in a screenshot or screenshot group, while ignoring app chrome, nav bars, and incidental text.

3

Recover missing links

When a screenshot shows a title, repo name, product, place, or article but no full URL, SnapAction can use Serper search and URL verification to find a canonical destination.

4

Store a card you can act on

SwiftData stores the resulting resource locally, including type, tags, metadata, favorite state, read state, scan records, and links back to the screenshot asset IDs.

Resource types SnapAction understands

Links and knowledge

GitHub repos, articles, posts, videos, apps, papers, product websites, documentation, and generic links.
