`Stash`: screenshot saver hits **3,000+ downloads** with a simple Share Sheet flow

Camera-roll overload is turning screenshots into a distinct capture workflow. A 2-tap save, offline OCR, and one-time pricing make this niche worth testing now.

[ KEY POINTS ]
  1. The trigger is painfully common: 40,000 screenshots across two phones, with re-Googling replacing retrieval. That is a clear consumer pain point, not a novelty use case.
  2. Usage is stronger than raw downloads: users open it about 12 times per day. High-frequency behavior matters more than launch-week vanity metrics for utility apps.
  3. Feature expansion followed launch comments fast: offline OCR, shared folders, Mac companion, Face ID, and Markdown export to ChatGPT/Claude. The community effectively shaped the roadmap.
  4. The stack is straightforward but opinionated: SwiftUI, SwiftData, CloudKit, local-first, no account, no vendor server. That privacy angle is part of the product, not just implementation detail.
  5. Pricing stays unusually simple at $10 lifetime for unlimited use. That lowers purchase friction, but it also caps upside unless volume keeps compounding.
