Who makes this

Screenshot Inbox is built by Ritesh Satia atUdaan Technologies. One person, one Mac app. No investors, no growth team, no roadmap decided by anyone but the people who write in.

Why it exists

It started as a problem I had at work. Consulting means screenshotting client dashboards, internal tools, billing screens and staging environments all day — and then, weeks later, needing one of them again. The Desktop filled up, Spotlight was useless because it only indexes filenames, and every tool that could actually search inside the images wanted to upload them to somebody's server first.

That's not a trade-off I could make with client material, and I doubt I'm the only one. So the constraint came first and the product came second: whatever this app turned out to be, the screenshots would never leave the machine. Everything else in the design follows from that — Apple Vision instead of a cloud OCR service, plain SQLite instead of a sync backend, two dependencies instead of twenty.

What I won't build

A small app stays good by refusing things. These aren't "not yet" — they are decisions:

• No cloud sync or team libraries. That turns a local tool into a backend business with auth, billing tiers and uptime obligations, and it contradicts the one promise the app makes.
• No cloud AI summarisation. It would mean uploading your screenshots. Same reason.
• No annotation or markup editor. CleanShot and Preview do that well. Competing there would be a feature war I'd lose while making this app worse.
• No screen recording, GIF or video. Different product, different storage problem.
• No analytics or crash reporting. Not even opt-in, not in v1. It would make the central claim negotiable.

The trade is real and worth stating: because there's no telemetry, I genuinely don't know how you use the app unless you tell me. That makes email from users the only signal I have, which is why I read all of it.
