This app brings the Pixel Screenshots experience to any Android device

[phillynews215]

• PixelShot is a new app that copies Google’s Pixel Screenshots app.
• Like Pixel Screenshots, PixelShot collects and analyzes your screenshots so you can search through them later.
• Unlike Pixel Screenshots, the app is available for all Android devices and not just the Pixel 9. However, it doesn’t work fully offline.

It’s hard to put together a list of the best Android apps because there are just so many to pick from and everyone’s tastes are different. Some of the best apps do something unique that no other app replicates, while others are simply the best in their category. I’m particularly fond of apps that replicate functionality unique to particular devices, as those give me the freedom to use whatever Android phone I want. That’s why when I learned of a new app called PixelShot, which basically copies Google’s Pixel Screenshots app, I was excited to try it out.

Pixel Screenshots, if you aren’t familiar, is an app that’s exclusive to the Google Pixel 9 series. It uses on-device AI to analyze the screenshots that you take, extract text and other pertinent info from those screenshots, and then make a database that you can later search through using the app. As an example, imagine you take a screenshot of a text message or email sent by your Airbnb host that contains a smart lock code. When you arrive at your Airbnb, you can open the Pixel Screenshots app and search “code” to quickly find that screenshot with the information you need.
