How to Make Your iPhone Screenshots Searchable

Screenshots are how we save tweets, slides, recipes and receipts, and then they disappear into the camera roll. Here is how to make them searchable notes.

By Ilian Raykov, founder of BrainTube

The short answer

  • Share screenshots from Photos to BrainTube.
  • Each one is read and summarised.
  • Search by what it showed, or ask Cue about it.

Step by step

1. Pick the screenshots

In Photos, select one or more screenshots you want to keep.

2. Share them to BrainTube

Tap Share and choose BrainTube. Each screenshot is read and summarised.

3. Search by content

Find them by what they showed, like "the slide about churn", instead of scrolling the camera roll.

4. Connect the dots

Screenshots sit next to related videos, articles and notes, and Cue can answer questions across all of them.
