Your camera roll is full of screenshots you'll never find again
Screenshots are the fastest way to save something on a phone, but they lose the link, mix in with your photos and are hard to search. Keep screenshots for things that are only images; for anything with a link, share it into a library that keeps the source and a summary, so you can find it by topic later.

Why everyone screenshots everything
A screenshot works in any app, takes one press and doesn't ask where to put it. For a recipe, a quote, a product or a tweet, it's the path of least resistance.
The trouble shows up later. Your camera roll mixes those screenshots with holiday photos, the link back to the source is gone, and scrolling through thousands of images to find one is nobody's idea of fun.
What gets lost in a screenshot
Compared with saving the thing itself, a screenshot drops:
- The link, so you can't open the full article, video or product page
- Anything below the fold: the rest of the thread, the comments, the full recipe
- Context: why you saved it and what you meant to do with it
- Easy search, unless your photo app's text recognition happens to catch it
Share instead of screenshotting
Next time, tap Share instead of taking a screenshot and send it to Kajr. The link is kept, the page is read, and the save arrives with a summary and tags. It's the same number of taps.
When the thing really is an image, such as a whiteboard, a poster or a handwritten note, share the photo into Kajr too. It lives in the same library as your links, so one question can find either.
Dealing with the screenshots you already have
Don't try to sort them all. Search your photo app for a few keywords you care about ("recipe", "book", a brand name), share the handful worth keeping into Kajr, and delete the rest in batches. Most screenshots did their job the day you took them.
Questions you can ask Kajr
- What was that book someone recommended in a thread I saved?
- Find the photo of the whiteboard from our planning session
- Which products did I save to compare before buying?
Frequently asked questions
Can I save photos and screenshots in Kajr?
Yes. Kajr keeps photos alongside links, videos and PDFs in one library, so you can find any of them from one place.
Is it better to screenshot or bookmark?
Bookmark (or share) anything that has a link, so you keep the source and the full content. Screenshot only things that exist as an image.
Do my photos leave my phone?
Your library is stored on your device. When Kajr analyses a save or answers a question, only the content needed for that request is sent for AI processing.
