Your screenshots live in the notch.

Screenbucket is a menu bar app that finds every screenshot you take, reads it, captions it in a few words and makes it searchable. Point at the top of the screen and a shelf grows out of the notch with your latest screenshots, each labelled so you know what you're dragging.

Screenshots taken seconds apart stack together and drag as one. Type while the shelf is open to search by what a screenshot shows, or by when: “receipt october”, “error yesterday”. New screenshots are renamed to match their caption, so Finder and Spotlight find them too.

Everything runs on your Mac. Captions come from an on-device vision model and screen text from Apple's Vision framework. Nothing is uploaded.

Screenshots

  • The Screenbucket shelf open below the notch, showing captioned screenshots such as “Error in Terminal” and “Flight to Tokyo”.
  • Moments after a capture, the notch shows the new screenshot's thumbnail and its caption, “Flight to Tokyo”.
  • Searching the shelf for “tokyo” finds a flight, a map of Shibuya and a trip itinerary.
  • A screenshot being dragged from the shelf into a chat message.
  • One screenshot dropped onto another to stack them on the shelf.
  • A stack of three Terminal screenshots fanned open, each with its own caption.
  • The library window listing every screenshot by day, with captions and times.
  • A saved screenshot renamed to include its caption: “Screenshot 2026-10-12 at 9.41.03 - Flight to Tokyo.png”.
