Light Capture

Capture screenshots, then actually find them again.

Light Capture is built for people who treat screenshots as working files: evidence, references, UI states, prompts, invoices, bugs, research notes, and visual memory.

Product workflow

The screenshot is only the beginning.

Most tools stop after capture. Light Capture focuses on what happens next: where the file goes, what it contains, how it is described, and how quickly it can be found later.

Screenshot workflow

1. CaptureGrab screen states, references, bugs, invoices, and visual notes.
2. EnrichAdd comments, metadata, OCR text, and optional AI tags.
3. SearchUse filename, content, comment, date, folder, and AQS syntax.
4. ReuseOpen, review, resize, share, document, or export selected images.

AQS example

A search language for real work.

Light Capture can expose Windows-compatible search concepts in a way that makes sense for screenshot archives: comments, folders, dates, OCR content, and tags.

Private AI with Ollama

Local models make sense for screenshot archives.

Screenshots often contain customer data, legal material, property details, code, account pages, private notes, or internal documents. Light Capture is designed to work with local AI models through Ollama so tagging and analysis can stay on your computer.

Use cloud AI when speed matters, or local models when cost, privacy, and flexibility matter more.

Local AI checklist

  • Private screenshot context can stay local.
  • No per-image cloud fee for local inference.
  • Best performance with a capable NVIDIA GPU.
