Automatically sync screenshotsbetween iPhone and Mac

Yes. Free includes capture, import, sync, search, editing, sharing, and your newest 30 screenshots. Older screenshots stay safely stored and synced.

Pro opens your full history and safely clears synced originals from Photos or your Mac. Choose weekly, yearly, or Lifetime; one purchase covers Mac, iPhone, and iPad.

Install CloudShots on both and stay signed in to iCloud. Mac captures and the iPhone or iPad Screenshots album flow into one private history through iCloud, on Free and Pro alike; Apple Watch shows the same history read-only.

There is nothing to file. Every capture lands in one timeline by date, and on-device recognition adds the text, scene tags, and a descriptive filename; the Mac panel also filters by source — Mac, iPhone, iPad, Watch, or CarPlay.

Type what you remember. Search matches recognized text, tags, and generated filenames in any word order, understands phrases like "last week", and the same screenshots surface in Spotlight.

Pro adds Free Up Your Photos on iPhone and Free Up Your Mac, which remove only originals already confirmed in iCloud — to Recently Deleted or the Trash, so they stay recoverable and your CloudShots history keeps them.

On your devices, and privately, in iCloud. CloudShots has no account system or screenshot server; recognition and Private state stay local.

No. Recognition, tags, names, and summaries run on device. Diagnostics never contain screenshots or recognized content.

Yes, minus the sync. Capture, import, history, and editing are local; only cross-device history needs iCloud.

1,000 by default. Free and Pro can choose 200 through Unlimited, and out of the box the setting deletes nothing. Only lowering it below your current library size removes anything — permanently, and only after an explainer and a confirmation naming the exact count.

Yes. Share the image, or invite someone to collaborate with edit or view-only access through iCloud. Redacted screenshots cannot be shared this way; they can still be exported as a file, with the redaction baked in.

Sign in to the same iCloud account on both devices and install CloudShots on each. From then on it is automatic: a Mac capture or an iPhone Screenshots-album import flows into one shared private history through iCloud, on Free and Pro alike.

Yes. CloudShots captures on Mac, syncs the record and the image privately through iCloud, and it appears in your iPhone history automatically — no export, AirDrop, or manual transfer.

Yes. CloudShots imports from your iPhone Screenshots album in the background and syncs each one privately through iCloud, so it shows up in your Mac history automatically.

Yes. CloudShots stores and syncs everything privately through iCloud using CloudKit — there is no CloudShots account and no CloudShots server. Signing in only matters for cross-device history; everything else works without it.

No. Screenshots go only to iCloud, privately. The only third-party egress is anonymized diagnostics via Sentry and PostHog, and they never carry screenshot pixels, OCR text, tags, or annotations.

It is a separate, purpose-built history rather than a replacement for iCloud Photos, Drive, or AirDrop. CloudShots keeps its own synced, searchable timeline of just your screenshots, with on-device recognition and editing those general-purpose tools do not offer.

Yes, on Mac, iPhone, and iPad. Each device builds its own local search index over the same synced history, so recognized text, tags, and generated filenames are searchable wherever CloudShots is installed — with no network required.

Both spellings mean this app. It is called CloudShots, and people often type CloudShot in the singular — the App Store listing and this site are the same app for Mac, iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch.
