Screenbase

Annotate screenshots so the “why” does not disappear

A screenshot without context is just another image in Photos. Screenbase lets you annotate screenshots with notes and organization so the reason you saved it stays attached to the capture.

Screenshot notes that stay searchable

Write a short note while you still remember — “yearly plan savings callout,” “checkout friction,” “hotel confirmation.” Those screenshot notes become part of search later.

Markup for meaning, not decoration

Annotation in Screenbase is about context: why this capture matters, which project it belongs to, what you want to reuse. It is reference markup, not a drawing toy.

Stored independently from the original asset

Photos keeps the image. Screenbase keeps your annotation and organizational metadata separately, so adding notes does not rewrite the original screenshot.

Questions

How is this different from Markup in Photos?

Photos Markup draws on the image. Screenbase annotations add searchable context and filing — notes, tags, and collections — without treating every capture like a finished graphic.

Are annotations included on Free?

Yes. Annotations, collections, and tags are part of the free library experience. Pro adds AI organization and OCR search on top.
