Common questions
How do I organize the screenshots already in Photos?
Choose the Photos access you want to give Shotli, then open Organize. Tap Add to Collection and choose where the current screenshot belongs, or use a collection shortcut. A saved action advances to the next screenshot. Skip leaves it unchanged; More > Mark Reviewed marks it reviewed without adding a collection. Collections hold references, so the originals stay in Photos. Review the deletion queue separately and confirm before deleting.
Can Shotli remind me to organize?
Yes. In Settings, open Reminders, turn on Remind Me, and choose a daily, weekly, or monthly schedule. Save the time you want. Reminders are optional, use local time, and follow iPhone notification permissions. Turn them off in the same settings.
Where do I download Shotli?
Use theShotli App Store linkon your iPhone. The listing shows current device support and regional availability. Shotli requires iOS 17 or later.
Why does Shotli need Photos access?
Shotli needs permission to find and show screenshots in your Photos library. You can allow selected items or full access. Selected access means only those chosen images appear. You can change this in iPhone Settings at any time.
Does organizing change my Photos albums?
Shotli collections organize items inside Shotli. They do not move or duplicate your originals into Photos albums. Removing an item from a Shotli collection does not delete the original screenshot.
How does screenshot search work?
Apple’s on-device text recognition reads accessible screenshots and makes recognized words searchable. Indexing takes time, and some fonts, languages, or low-resolution images may not be recognized accurately. The original screenshot is always your source of truth.
Does Shotli delete screenshots automatically?
No. Marking for deletion only adds an item to a review queue. You review the selection and confirm the Photos deletion request. If you cancel, the selected screenshots are not deleted. iCloud Photos may sync a confirmed deletion to your other devices.
Do I need an account or an internet connection?
No Shotli account is required. Search and organization run locally for available images. Optional iCloud backup requires an Apple Account and a connection. Photos may download iCloud originals; purchases, purchase restoration, analytics, and support email also use the network.
Can I save directly to a collection from another app?
Yes. Share an image, chooseSave to Shotli, select an existing collection orInbox, and tapSave. Wait for the saved confirmation, then continue in the app you were using. You do not need to open Shotli to save; the main app adds the saved items to its library the next time it opens.
Shared images are private local copies. Removing an import deletes Shotli’s copy, not the original in Photos or another app. Before uninstalling, export important imports or verify that your optional Pro iCloud backup completed. The app’s automatic device backup does not include its local library or imports.
Search missed a screenshot. What can I try?
Check that Shotli has Photos permission for the image and allow indexing to finish. In Settings, use Download and Retry Text Recognition to retry unreadable items; Photos may download an iCloud original. Some fonts, languages, or low-resolution text will still be missed.
What does Pro include?
The free version includes text search, indexing, favorites, review tools, and three collections. The one-time Pro unlock adds unlimited collections and iCloud backup. The US price is$2.99; the App Store shows your actual local price before purchase.
How do I restore a Pro purchase?
Open Settings in Shotli and tap Restore Purchases. Use the Apple account that made the original eligible purchase. If access doesn’t return, contact us with your app version and a description of the issue. Please don’t send payment card details or account passwords.
What does iCloud backup save?
Pro lets you back up collections, image memberships, favorites, review progress, and images imported into Shotli. You can also include accessible Photos screenshots. Otherwise, their originals must still be available when you restore. Open Backup in Settings to create a manual backup or preview a restore. You need iCloud access, free storage, and a connection. This does not continuously sync devices.
Before restoring, Shotli shows a preview. Restoration merges backed-up content into the current library without replacing it or deleting Photos originals. Restoring an existing backup does not require a new Pro purchase. An unavailable original cannot be recovered from a backup that did not include its image.
Each backup covers the accessible Shotli library, not just images filed into collections. If Photos copies are excluded, the originals need iCloud Photos references that can be matched on another device. If those references are unavailable, Shotli asks you to include image copies before backing up. The restore preview identifies originals that are currently unavailable.
Each backup supports up to 1 GB, with a 40 MB limit per image. You can keep up to 100 backups; delete an older one before creating another at the limit.
Turning backup off stops new backups; it does not delete an existing backup. Deleting local content or revoking Photos permission does not erase copies already included in iCloud. Apple’s iCloud service and account settings govern cloud storage and availability. You can delete an existing backup in Settings after confirmation, without a new Pro purchase.
