A mymind alternative for everything you save as a picture

Short answer: mymind is a beautiful cloud "second brain" with AI tagging, from $4.99 a month. If most of what you save is screenshots and images, Shotbox does the core job (save, sort, find by text) right on your phone, with no account and no cloud.
