Hey there Product Hunt 👋 We started building Camp to solve a simple problem; we take a lot of screenshots with valuable information but never look back at them. Camp 1.0 attempted to solve this problem but the process was very manual. @chrismessina said it the best > For Camp to be truly magical, I shouldn't have to ever type! Camp is back with version 2.0 and we are proud to say that it now does exactly that. Camp knows why you took a screenshot and automatically extracts & shows you the most relevant information in beautifully crafted cards. We believe this AI powered extraction flow will help you finally "inbox zero" your screenshots and free your Photo library from forgotten screenshots. With this initial launch, Camp can automatically extract 🗺️ Point of interests 🎵 Songs 🎼 Albums 👩‍🎤 Musicians 📖 Books 🖥️ Websites 🔠 Text content 🐦 Twitter posts 🛍️ Products & Items (COMING SOON) 👗 Outfits (COMING SOON) I will end with a question. What kind of things do you take a screenshot of and how many screenshots do you have on your phone 🎀

Appealing idea, but I'm finding this app does not work well at all. After it scans my photos it finds about 1,000 screenshots. I'm then dumped on a Tinder-like stack of images that makes me think I'm meant to swipe left or right to keep or archive the photos it's found, but this is not the case. Rather, it appears that I'm supposed to swipe up or down instead? I have no idea what I'm supposed to do. An explanation would be nice. Further, while it appears that swiping up archives the image I'm viewing, swiping down has no function. It makes the Camp logo spin halfway but I can't get it to spin to reveal an icon like swiping up. Basically, this view only allows me to archive images. But then again, am I really archiving images by swiping up? This is so confusing. If I swipe to the left I'm shown a library with categories. While the Tinder-like stack of images showed me a notification bubble with the number 1,035, indicating I have that many images to swipe on, the library view only shows me 8 images. Why is there this difference? No idea. When I swipe to archive additional images from the Tinder stack, they do not appear in the library, though a few of the images in the library are images I've swiped. How do I get new images to appear in the library? No clue. How do I delete useless categories like tweet? Does not appear to be possible. All said, it appears this app is entirely broken from my perspective. I thought I understood what it was going to do before downloading it, but now that I've used the app I have no idea what it's supposed to do.

This looks really cool, I just downloaded the app. I understand that you want to keep it all in your app but as a user it feels like an extra friction to have the organized screenshots in a seperate app. Is there a way to save / alter the screenshots to the iPhone gallery?
Mike Choi
@lrueger 💓 great feature suggestion and it’s been added to the todo list :)
Pam Garza
Very cool product! I was just thinking of starting to organize them manually but I have 28 thousand! How does the sync work with our current icloud/ phone? I would actually love to delete them off my phone and be able to have them separately than my pictures. thanks!
Mike Choi
@pamsny we don't have iCloud sync built in yet but it's definitely on our todo list. Right now, if you swipe up an image on Camp, we will save a smaller version of the screenshot + information we extracted from the screenshot locally. Then, you have the option to delete your original screenshot by long-pressing the delete button :) let me know if that works for now!
Nuno Reis
Oh wow, interesting. I have tons of screenshots always. Do you think of building it for PC as well, cause I have lots of laptop screenshots that are all over the place xD
Mike Choi
@nuno_ms_reis a desktop version is something we are thinking about ;)

@guard_if Congratulations on your launch! I literally was dreaming about some kind of a solution to gather and organize my screenshots! Followed you on Twitter :)
Mike Choi
@eugeneyarovoii followed back :)
Lukas Rüger
Out of curiosity: Which AI models do you use in your backend? As far as I know handling pictures is not that common for the bigger models yet, so I would be interesting in hearing about this :)
Mike Choi
@lrueger it’s a combo of a lot of various models :)

Screenshots are a great pain for me. But I'm no fan of downloading new apps(it's been a frustrating waste of time lately). Maybe a more convincing landing page could help build credibility and eliminate this friction to download apps. Either way, I'm using it right away! Congrats for the launch @guard_if 😎

Seems like we have a screenshot-race today between ScreenFloat and Camp AI! I'd suggest to check out the page of ScreenFloat, maybe you two can learn a lot from each other's comments!
Yash Moondhra
Awesome! Really excited to see something that will help me clear my photo library of all the junk I have accumulated lol
Sarah
I think that's a great thing!! I mean, everyone knows it. We take screenshots of everything that seems important to us and then have no overview at all. I'm really looking forward to trying out the app and will definitely give my feedback. Personally, I often take screenshots of things I want to buy. I also find it fascinating that locations are also saved. Is it possible to link this map to Google Maps or to the Apple map?

Congratulations on the launch. Every day I come in and see cool products. It seems to me that very soon I won't even need to go anywhere - everything will be viewed/analyzed/resolved without me :) Success in the development of the product!
