Papers, threads, GitHub repos, charts, reference sites, and tool pages all end up in Photos. SnapAction turns those images into typed cards you can revisit by title, tag, and resource type.
Your Photos library holds hundreds of paper abstracts, technical diagrams, and social posts with no resource-level structure.
A screenshot may show a useful idea but hide the canonical URL. Later you have the clue, not the source.
Research capture should lead to opening a paper, reading an article, cloning a repo, or adding a todo—not a manual search session.
Use screenshots of papers, papers-in-progress, social posts, GitHub repos, technical blogs, videos, documentation, and reference websites.
SnapAction's AI pipeline classifies the item as a paper, article, post, repo, video, app, website, note, or todo and generates tags and descriptions.
SwiftData stores title, URL, tags, type, description, and linked screenshot IDs, so research artifacts become cards instead of loose images.
Classify screenshots of papers, articles, posts, and websites as distinct resource types.
Turn a screenshot of a repository or tool mention into an openable link when the canonical URL can be found.
Use extracted tags and summaries to re-find saved research later.
Review what you captured today before the next research session buries it.
SnapAction includes a paper resource type and can save paper-like resources with title, URL when available, tags, and description. It does not promise perfect citation extraction from every screenshot.
Yes. SnapAction can analyze consecutive screenshots together and link multiple screenshot asset IDs to the same resource when they belong together.
No. Screenshot analysis uses SnapAction's backend AI pipeline. Local browsing of saved SwiftData resources is fast after a scan completes.
