PixelShot is a new app that copies Google’s Pixel Screenshots app. It collects and analyzes your screenshots so you can search them later.

So it's like recall but not incredibly privacy invasive! Pretty cool!

Yeah no, nobody said that. It's not FOSS, so we can't know that. The AI model does not even run on device.

It still could be very privacy invasive, but since you opt-in (not opt-out) to its features, I wouldn't consider it as invasive as microsoft's.

Well...

So what’s the catch? Well, for starters, PixelShot isn’t as private as Pixel Screenshots is. The developer says that your screenshots themselves are never uploaded to the cloud, which is good, however he says that the text from your screenshots is uploaded to the cloud so an AI model can summarize it.

Unlike Pixel Screenshots, the app is available for all Android devices and not just the Pixel 9. However, it doesn’t work fully offline.

From the article

There is open source APP called tidy, which work completely offline
