StashScreenshot app — share sheet and on-device OCR retrieval
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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Feature expansion followed launch comments fast: offline OCR, shared folders,
Maccompanion,Face ID, andMarkdownexport toChatGPT/Claude. The community effectively shaped the roadmap. - 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. - Pricing stays unusually simple at $10 lifetime for unlimited use. That lowers purchase friction, but it also caps upside unless volume keeps compounding.
