## Description

Your camera roll is full of screenshots you meant to deal with. Stop scrolling and start deciding. One photo, one call, and nothing leaves until you say so.

Your camera roll is full of screenshots, receipts, and whiteboard photos you saved
for one piece of information — then never looked at again.

PixScan is a fast way to deal with all of them. Swipe through your library one photo
at a time. Keep it, delete it, or pull its text out first so you can throw the photo
away and still have what you needed.

ONE PHOTO AT A TIME

Swipe right to keep. Swipe left to delete. Swipe up to extract the text and delete
the photo. Swipe down to extract the text and keep it. Double-tap to undo. Long press
to see any photo full screen with pinch to zoom.

Nothing is deleted the moment you swipe. Photos go to a review queue, and you confirm
everything in one batch when you're ready.

TEXT THAT OUTLIVES THE PHOTO

PixScan reads text from your photos using Apple's Vision framework, entirely on your
device. A receipt total, a wifi password, a page of notes, a business card — the text
becomes searchable and copyable, and the photo becomes optional.

Search everything you've extracted, with matches highlighted as you type. Sort by
date or length. Copy, share, or delete any entry, and tap through to see the photo it
came from. Export the whole library as a text file whenever you want it somewhere
else.

BUILT FOR A REAL CAMERA ROLL

Works with iCloud Photos, including libraries using Optimize iPhone Storage. When a
photo hasn't been downloaded, PixScan shows you the download progress instead of a
blank square, and it keeps working when you're offline — your thumbnails still load,
and anything that needed the network retries on its own the moment you reconnect.

A screenshots-only filter puts you straight into the part of your library that needs
the most attention. The delete queue shows exactly how much space you'll get back
before you commit to anything.

Your progress is saved as you go. Close the app mid-sweep and pick up where you left
off. Finish a batch of deletions and PixScan shows you what you just cleared and what
you've cleared in total.

COMPLETELY PRIVATE

Every photo and every character of text stays on your device. There are no accounts,
no analytics, no servers, and no network requests of our own. PixScan has nothing to
upload because it was never built to.
