I could really really use something that would OCR and classify all the screenshots I take of stuff to remember. Have an enormous folder of the damn things.

Have you tried “Keep It”?

Keep It is a notebook and document organizer for Mac, and is also available as a separate app for iPhone and iPad. Keep It can create and edit notes, rich text, plain text and Markdown files, scan documents, edit PDFs, archive emails, save web links in a variety of formats, preview and search just about any kind of file, and organize these in a variety of ways. All the files, folders and tags you store in Keep It are available in the Finder, and can be shared with other Keep It users via iCloud.

IMHO, a Spotlight Importer[0] would be the way to go. A quick search found the MacOS Vision OCR[1] project, which might be able to be incorporated as an importer.

In any event, whatever OCR approach you prefer, leveraging Spotlight would obviate the need for a service to index and then find screenshots.

I think that it’s probably doable in DEVONthink. There are flows to automatically OCR and to organize files into folders based on content.

…Or scans that come off a page scanner. For years, I’ve done it deterministically by looking for key data in the OCR; but the process is fragile.
