Caplio turns scattered screenshots and images into a private, searchable library on your Mac. Think of it as a lightweight asset manager for screenshots and everyday images. Add your folders, and Caplio automatically watches, indexes, and extracts text with on-device OCR. Browse by timeline, search, or category; organize files automatically, then drag any image straight into another app. No uploads or cloud OCR. Your images stay on your Mac.
Hey Product Hunt
I built Caplio because I realized I was taking screenshots and saving reference images all the time, but rarely had a good way to find them again when I actually needed them.
I wanted something simple: point it at the folders I already use, let it understand the text inside my images, and make everything easy to search, browse, and reuse.
That became Caplio.
Caplio creates a searchable visual library from your screenshots and images. It uses on-device OCR, gives you a visual timeline, lets you filter by date or category, and can optionally organize the actual files on disk.
One of my favorite parts is drag & drop: once you find an image, you can simply drag it from Caplio into another Mac app. You can also quickly copy or share the image, its extracted text, or both.
Privacy was important to me from the beginning, so OCR and indexing happen locally on your Mac. Your images and extracted text aren't uploaded for processing.
Caplio is still at the beginning, and I'm actively working on improving it. I'd especially love to hear:
• How do you currently manage screenshots and reference images on your Mac?
• What would make Caplio more useful in your daily workflow?
• And what feels confusing or unnecessary?
Thanks for checking it out. I’ll be here throughout the launch and would love to hear what you think.
