SnapLog

Your screenshots remember everything. Now they talk.

My camera roll had 122 job posts in it. Recruiter emails, salary ranges, walk-in addresses. All saved with complete sincerity at 1am. All buried by breakfast.

A screenshot feels like saving. It's actually burying.

So I built SnapLog in a day. Drop in your screenshots, in batches of fifty if you like. It reads them, pulls out the people and the details (emails, character-perfect), keeps a timestamped log in your own private store, and hands you one clean Excel sheet. Snap on the phone. Sorted by the time you sit down.

It's free and open source, and it runs entirely on your own accounts. Your screenshots never touch anyone else's server. Including mine.

How it works

How SnapLog worksPhotographs go in, text is read on the device, an AI pass pulls out the details, everything lands in a private timestamped store, and one Excel sheet comes out.

Job seekers

"I screenshot every we're-hiring post I scroll past. A week of saves becomes one sheet of roles, salaries, and recruiter emails I can actually work through. Nothing expires unread."

Real estate agents

"Listings from portals, WhatsApp groups, competitor pages. Prices, locations, and numbers land in one sheet. A Saturday of browsing becomes a Monday call list."

Event & wedding planners

"Vendor quotes arrive as screenshots. Each one gets filed with a timestamp, the numbers and phone numbers pulled out. Comparing twelve florists no longer means three apps."

Students & researchers

"Slides shot in lectures, references shot from library books. All of it becomes searchable text with dates attached. I-know-I-saved-that-somewhere becomes a citation."

Small traders

"Supplier price lists and invoices live in WhatsApp as images. They land in a running log with amounts and contacts extracted. Month-end starts from a sheet, not a camera roll."

Anyone with a cluttered brain dump

"My camera roll was a junk drawer of good intentions. Screenshots I swore I'd come back to. Now they come back to me."

Next on the bench: the same declutter for your notes and text dumps. Coming soon.
