SnapScribe is a Chrome extension that captures screenshots and turns them into organized notes with on-device OCR, summaries, and PDF export. It is built privacy-first.
Your screenshots, extracted text (OCR), summaries, notes, tags, flashcards and notebooks are stored locally in your browser (IndexedDB). They are never uploaded to our servers. OCR and the offline summarizer run entirely on your device.
We do not sell your data, show ads, or run third-party analytics or tracking.
