Mirowl

Qifeng Zheng, Aiswarya Subramanian, Joe Rucker, Safi, and Erdem Bilgin five engineers from somewhere apparently got tired of everyone saying "wait, I saw that somewhere in my screenshots" like it's some kind of ritual. So they built Mirowl, a local OCR-powered AI that searches every screenshot you've ever taken. Every single one.

Here's the thing about screenshots—we take thousands of them. Recipe you forgot to bookmark, confirmation number yousworeyou wrote down, that tweet with the funny dog, the error message you should have Googled immediately. They're all sitting in folders somewhere, completely unsearchable, until NOW. Mirowl runs locally on your machine, processes everything through OCR, and lets you type natural queries to find exactly what you're looking for. No cloud, no uploading your data to some server, no weird privacy concerns. Your screenshots stay yours.

It's the kind of tool that seems obvious once someone builds it—which is exactly when you know it's a winner. There's no flashy pitch deck, no promises about trillion-dollar markets. Just five people who looked at a problem every single person has and said "I'll fix that." That's the energy.

Five makers building something genuinely useful. If you've ever spent 20 minutes trying to find that ONE screenshot, you get it.
