What is Keep It Shot?
Keep It Shot is a macOS-exclusive app that uses local AI technology to automatically generate descriptive filenames for screenshots and other media files, while building an offline, fully private, and extremely fast local search index, allowing quick keyword-based retrieval of historical screenshots. It not only streamlines the renaming process (with just two clicks for batch operations) but also ensures that no image data is ever uploaded—running entirely offline with zero privacy leaks. Users can freely customize their renaming preferences and restore original filenames with one click; additionally, each renaming action simultaneously performs OCR, creates concise text-and-image/video summaries, and extracts keywords to build the local search index. The free version offers 15 renaming credits per month, while paid plans include monthly subscriptions at $8 (300 credits/month) and $24 (2,000 credits/month), as well as a one-time payment option of $19 for annual access or the ability to use your own OpenAI API key along with 500 free credits.
