Hey everyone! 👋
I'm an indie iOS developer, and after months of development, testing, and plenty of debugging, I've finally launched my new app, Activae, on the App Store.
The idea came from a simple problem.
Like most people, I take screenshots of everything:
- Flight and train tickets
- Bills and payment reminders
- Insurance documents
- Appointments and bookings
- Important information I want to remember
But here's the problem: I rarely go back and check those screenshots.
They just sit in my Photos library.
So I decided to build something that could actually make those screenshots useful.
What does Activae do?
Activae analyzes screenshots and helps turn important information into organized actions.
📸 Screenshot Intelligence — Extracts useful information from screenshots using Apple's Vision framework.
🧠 Smart Action Suggestions — Identifies dates, relevant details, and potential actions.
📅 Reminders & Calendar — Helps you remember important events and deadlines.
📂 Action Inbox — Keeps everything organized in one place.
📲 Share Extension — Send screenshots directly to Activae from the iOS share sheet.
🔒 Privacy First — Screenshot analysis happens on-device, without requiring an account.
A little about the development
I built Activae using SwiftUI, SwiftData, Apple's Vision framework, and native iOS technologies.
One of the biggest challenges was making screenshot recognition useful across different document types while avoiding incorrect dates or misleading suggestions.
It's still version 1.0, and there's plenty of room for improvement.
It's completely free!
I'm keeping Activae free during its initial launch period. No subscriptions or paywalls.
🍎 App Store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/activae/id6828392199
I'd genuinely appreciate feedback from anyone willing to try it.
A question for the community: Would you find an app like this useful, or do you already have a better way to organize important screenshots?
Thanks for checking it out! 🙌
