AskPics
AskPics is an iPhone app that lets people search their saved screenshots using plain-English queries.
The Problem
People take screenshots of hotels, recipes, outfits, quotes, and other things they want to remember, but these pile up in the camera roll unsorted and become nearly impossible to find later. There are no folders or tags to rely on, so finding a specific screenshot means scrolling endlessly through a camera roll. This is the problem the company's prior product, ragobble, apparently also addressed before being discontinued in favor of AskPics.
The Solution
AskPics lets users type a natural-language query, like "Paris hotels I shortlisted last summer" or "that blue dress I saved," and surfaces the matching screenshots by reading both the pixels and the text they contain. It uses on-device OCR plus vision models to index screenshots, claiming to process around 1,847 screenshots in under a minute, and automatically sorts saved screenshots into categories such as recipes, quotes, travel, outfits, and tweets. The app is described as private by design: it only accesses screenshots (not selfies or full-resolution photos), all processing happens on-device, and access can be revoked anytime through iOS Settings. It is available on the App Store for iPhone running iOS 17, 18, or 26.
