Share screenshots and turn the idea inside them into an activity
Taking the screenshot was quick. It does not need to sit between concert tickets and holiday photos for months.
The screenshot becomes a useful entry
You send the screenshot to Swiva through the normal share menu. It looks at what can be recognized, picks up the text and turns it into an activity suggestion.
You quickly review it, add your own context and save the activity to a list. The image itself does not end up in your Swiva collection.
Why screenshots disappear so quickly
Taking a screenshot is quick. Later, you remember that the restaurant looked good, but not what it was called or why you saved it.
Swiva reads the recognizable text from the image and turns it into an activity draft. The image is only the starting point. Your list gets the idea, not another screenshot.
How the image becomes an activity
1. Share the screenshot
Choose an image with an idea, place, recipe or concrete tip and send it to Swiva through the normal share menu.
2. Swiva reads the text from it
The app picks up what can be seen in the image and prepares a title and description. Of course, it cannot reliably guess what is not there.
3. Give it a quick look
Check the title and description, add your own context and change anything that does not fit. You have the final say.
4. Save the activity
Save it to a list such as “with visitors,” “date,” “Lisbon trip” or “small things for this week.”
What stays and what does not
The idea stays
Your list gets an editable activity entry with a title, description and your own context.
The image stays out
The screenshot is not attached to your Swiva activity as an image. It was simply how the idea got into the app.
You stay in control
When a source is available, you can consider it while reviewing the draft. For current prices, opening hours and addresses, always rely on the official source.
Which screenshots are worth sharing
Restaurant, trip or recipe
Anything you want to find, try or share with someone later.
Inspiration with a concrete idea
Inspiration works well too when you want to find it again, organize it or choose it together later.
A meme? Probably not needed
Private chats, tickets and personal memory photos probably belong in your camera roll. Share what you genuinely want to keep as an activity.
A few quick answers
Does Swiva save the screenshot as an image?
No. The screenshot is only the starting point. Swiva reads the recognizable text and then saves the activity you confirm, not the image.
What information is extracted from the screenshot?
Depending on the image, visible text, names, places and other recognizable details may be used in the draft. Still give it a quick check, especially names, addresses and prices.
Do I need to keep the screenshot after importing it?
No, not for the Swiva activity. Once you have reviewed the draft and saved the activity, you can delete the image from your camera roll if you no longer need it there.
Can I add my own notes?
Yes. Your own sentence is often the most useful part: who the idea is for, how much time you have or what you would change.
Your next good idea gets to stay.
Save it to Swiva and come back to it when you actually have time for it.
