Hi Product Hunt! Back in 2016 we posted the first version of Screenie for the community here and we were beyond excited to see all the positive feedback and to learn from the constructive criticism. Now it's 2020 🤯and we're ready to share something new. Screenie 2 is a completely re-imagined app with a new sleek user interface and major stability and performance improvements. Most importantly though, Screenie 2 is the first app using optical character recognition technology available only in macOS Catalina to enable you to search the text inside your screenshots! Some other great features: - Change the location where macOS saves your screenshots - Bring up the Screenie Panel from a global keyboard shortcut - Option to disable the native macOS screenshot previewer in the bottom right corner - New theme and styling options As a special thank you to the community here we're happy to give all Product Hunt users 50% off when using the discount code GOLDENKITTY at checkout!

@sond813 Hello Noah, if I'm buying screenie will it last for forever? I mean for future versions? or the current version forever? Or if somehow the screenie got uninstalled will I have to pay again for it?

@sond813 Am I missing something, or is the app free to download right now...? I'm confused because if it's free, what's the discount code for? I just downloaded it and waiting for it to index my screenshots in order to try it out! There don't appear to be any in-app purchases though and it didn't mention a trial or anything 😅

@sond813 :privacy policies? Do you collect data and store them, do you read see the screenshots and use them in any way? Does your OCR keep records and save the data somewhere because many screenshot can have bank info or other personal informations. Could you provide detailed info about how you handle all this information?

Choose My Smoothie

Bought this - extremely helpful. Congrats! One complaint I have (and maybe it's something I'm missing) is that I can only choose one folder at a time, and that can't be my "MacBook Pro" drive itself as it won't look for anything. In other words, I have images in Documents, Downloads, Desktop, folders within Desktop, and say I choose "Desktop", it won't include images that I have within folders on my desktop - only the ones flat out on the desktop itself. Is there any way around this?

@prithsr @sond813 I'm also really looking forward to this! I have subfolders that need to be included in indexing. Can you please tell when this is about to be released into production?

@prithsr @sond813 Hi, Noah! Any ETA for when one will be able to select multiple folders for Screenie to look in?

@prithsr I believe this feature has just been added. Screenie 2.2 seems to support this!

@niklaspivic666 Doesn't work well for me. I have added around 3-4 folders and though screenie itself shows a bunch of pictures more, the search feature doesn't include all of them.
