You didn't lose the screenshot.
You lost the search bar for it.

Trace reads every screenshot on your phone the moment you take it — Wi-Fi codes, receipts, tickets, chats — so a few plain words are all it takes to find it again. Nothing ever leaves your device.

Closed beta (internal testing) starting soon — waitlist members get early access.

The problem

4,000 screenshots. One you actually need.

Your camera roll isn't a photo library anymore — it's a filing cabinet nobody indexed. The average phone quietly fills up with things you meant to find again someday.

Every week
The Wi-Fi code

Screenshotted at a friend's place in March. Still in there. Nowhere near "Wi-Fi" in the filename.

Every month
The receipt

Warranty claim, expense report, return window — buried under three hundred memes and a boarding pass.

Every trip
The confirmation

Hotel address, gate number, reservation code — scrolling a gallery at the airport isn't a search strategy.

How it works

Three steps, all on your phone.

No cloud upload, no account required to start, no round trip to a server. The whole pipeline runs on the hardware already in your pocket.

01

You take a screenshot

Trace notices it the moment it lands in your camera roll — no need to open the app or tag anything.

02

It's read, once, on-device

On-device text recognition extracts every word in the image and indexes it locally — the image itself never moves.

03

You search it in plain English

Type "wifi password" or "receipt standing desk" and get the exact screenshot back, with the matching text highlighted.

Privacy, not as a feature — as the architecture

Nothing leaves your phone.

Not the image. Not the extracted text. Not the query you typed. Trace was built local-first from the first line of the schema, not retrofitted for a privacy page.

  • Zero data egress — no screenshot, no OCR text, no search ever touches a network request.
  • Local-only inference — text recognition runs on your device's own CPU/NPU.
  • Encrypted at rest — your local index is protected by Android's own keystore.
