Frequently asked questions
Does ScreenSorts upload data to the cloud?
No. All processing is performed on-device, with the database stored in a sandbox environment. There are no API calls, and your data physically cannot leave your Mac.
Do the OCR and AI tagging features operate entirely offline?
Yes. OCR, vector semantic search, and visual model tagging all run on the Apple Neural Engine, without relying on remote services from OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google.
