Notes apps store them, ActionShot captures
Apple Notes and Keep are fine shelves. ActionShot bridges the gap: screenshot in, checklist out, paste anywhere.
| What matters | Notes apps | ActionShot |
|---|---|---|
| Captures from screenshots | No, you type it in | Yes, automatically |
| Reminders and storage | Yes, natively | Via export to your apps |
| Deadline detection | Manual entry | From the image text |
| Send to Notion | Copy-paste by hand | One click, as to-do blocks |
| Price | Usually free with your phone | Free 3/week · Pro $4.99/mo |
You don't need another notes app. You need the ten minutes back that every screenshot currently costs you between seeing it and having it safely listed. That's the whole product.
Notes apps are where tasks go to wait. They store beautifully and remind reliably — but every item in them got there the same way: somebody read something somewhere and typed it in by hand.
ActionShot is the intake, not the shelf. Screenshot the chat, the email, the ticket; get back a checklist and paste it into Notes, Reminders, Notion or wherever you live. It doesn't replace your system — it feeds it.
Questions
Should I stop using my notes app?
No — keep it. ActionShot output pastes cleanly into Notes, Reminders, Todoist or Notion. Think of it as the fastest possible inbox for the system you already trust.
Can it create Apple Reminders directly?
Not directly: export the checklist and paste it, or send it to Notion in one click. Direct Reminders integration is on the roadmap if users ask for it.
What about the free tier?
Three screenshots a week, plain-text export, no card required. Enough to feel whether the intake habit sticks before paying anything.
