Keep It Shot Product Information

Keep It Shot is a Mac app that uses AI to automatically provide descriptive names for your files. It also builds an offline, fully private, and extremely fast search index for locating your screenshots using simple keywords. The app emphasizes privacy, promising that it does not store your images on external servers. It supports batch renaming, customizable renaming preferences, and offline, AI-powered search to quickly locate media files.


How to Use Keep It Shot

  1. Download and install Keep It Shot on macOS.
  2. Import or create screenshots within the app (or let the app monitor your screenshot workflow).
  3. Define your renaming preferences (auto-rename, descriptive naming, and keyword-based naming) and apply to single or multiple files.
  4. Review progress via the progress bar and adjust as needed.
  5. Use the offline search to locate your files quickly using keywords, OCR-derived descriptions, and short image/video descriptions.
  6. Revert renaming if you don’t like the new names with a single click.

Note: The search index is created locally on your machine and does not require an internet connection.

  • All processing happens locally to produce a private, searchable index.
