If you stop paying, everything keeps working

I had a large pile of images and screenshots on my computer, and I couldn't find anything again. That's why I built Tenoa. I needed an image organizer to keep those files in one place.

Tenoa suits someone who saves a lot of images, screenshots and PDFs to refer back to. You'll be able to find them later by the words inside them. I built it as a visual library that lives on your own computer.

How the visual library works

  1. Save items to the visual libraryYou hover to capture images, drag files in, paste a link, or use the iPhone and iPad share sheet.
  2. Store files in a normal folderEvery save is stored in a normal folder on your own computer. The original file sits beside a markdown file holding your personal notes, tags and a summary.
  3. Search for text and meaningTenoa reads text inside screenshots and PDFs and indexes it. Search runs on your computer and matches by meaning.
  4. Optional summaries and meaning-based searchTenoa works as a visual library with no AI set up. Summaries and meaning-based search use a local model or an outside AI service with your own API key.
