Summary
Mirowl is a native macOS app launching on Product Hunt that uses local OCR (powered by macOS Vision and built with Rust/Tauri) to index and search all screenshots and image assets on a user's computer. Created by solo founder Safi, it addresses the problem of managing scattered screenshot files by providing deep, private, local-only search capabilities with optional cloud features and no tracking.
