Kepter puts the stuff you save on your Mac into a visual drawer at the edge of your screen. Instead of remembering what you named something or where you saved it, you can just scroll until you recognize it. Screenshots, PDFs, scans, receipts, voice memos. If scrolling doesn't get you there, search for whatever you remember about it. Everything happens on your Mac. No account, no server, and your files never leave your computer. Free for 30 days, then $2.99/month or $39 once.

Could you build this?
Partial A basic visual UI drawer can be built in Swift/AppKit, but real-time multi-format visual capture, local OCR, and background filesystem monitoring across macOS need native desktop expertise.
What it would actually take: The app requires native Swift/macOS development using FSEvents/FilePresenter to monitor the filesystem, QuickLook thumbnail generation, and Apple Vision framework for on-device OCR and visual indexing. The hard parts are maintaining near-zero CPU/RAM footprint as a background daemon, bypassing macOS sandboxing and permission hurdles, and efficiently caching high-resolution asset previews without performance degradation.
