Clips sit in the library beside the stills, and sort and search the same way.
Everything you saved,
in its right place.
Screenshots, saved pages, and the downloads you meant to get to. Drop them in and Studiolo files each one where it belongs, so whatever you’re looking for is easy to find. Then lay it all out on a canvas to create a moodboard, plan a trip, or curate a room.
Thousands of things saved.
Every one of them a place to start.
The library
Point it at the pile.
Any folder of images becomes a wall you can scan, search, and file. The downloads folder, the screenshots folder, the four folders you made and never opened again. Nothing is moved and nothing is imported. The folders stay yours, on disk, exactly where they were.
Inbox
Drop it in. Studiolo files it.
Drag images and video onto Studiolo in the Dock and they land in your Inbox, without even having to open the app or name anything. Studiolo files each one into the right folder and shows you what it moved, so you can easily adjust with just one click. Anything it isn't sure about waits for you, with three suggested folders ready to pick.
The extension
Save the page, not just the link.
A bookmark is a line of text you will never scroll back through. The extension saves the page itself, as a picture, into your Inbox without leaving the tab, including pages behind a login. Clip the same page again and its picture updates wherever you put it. Right-click any image to save just that one.
Your iPhone
Save from your phone.
Scan one code and Save to Studiolo is in your iPhone's share sheet. Screenshots, photos, and videos arrive in your Inbox on your Mac through your own iCloud Drive, and are filed like everything else.
AI assistant
Let an assistant do the busywork.
Describing things is the slow part of keeping a pile useful, and it is the part nobody ever does. Studiolo runs an MCP server, so an AI assistant can search the archive, look at the images, and write the names and notes that make each thing easier to find.
The canvas
A surface to think on.
Put images beside each other and the connections start to show. Move, resize, crop, and annotate, with everything lining up and evening out as you go.
Notes
Not just images.
Sticky notes and text sit on the canvas beside the images, so a board can carry the thinking as well as the reference. A trip being planned, a room being decided, a note to yourself about what you liked before you forget it.
Search
Find it again.
This is the part that makes the pile worth keeping. Search reaches names, folders, and anything you have written, and it reads the pictures and videos themselves, so a grid, a texture, or a color is findable without anyone having written it down.
Export.
A finished board leaves as PNG, JPG, or PDF when it is time to show someone.
Color.
Type a color or click a swatch and find everything that shares it.
It stays on your machine.
No account to make, no server to sign in to. Studiolo reads the folders you point it at, and the descriptions you write are kept in a small plain text file beside them, readable without this app, so nothing is locked in. Your images stay on your Mac; what you save from your iPhone travels through your own iCloud Drive and nowhere else.
FAQ
Do I have to import anything?
No. You point Studiolo at a folder you already have and it reads it where it is. Nothing is copied, nothing is moved, and the files keep the names you gave them. Close the app and the folder is exactly what it was.
Where do the descriptions I write live?
In a small plain text file inside the folder itself, beside the images. That means they travel with the folder when you move it, they can be read without this app, and nothing is locked in a database only Studiolo understands.
Does anything leave my machine?
Only a check for its own updates. There is no account, no sync, and no analytics. Search reads your pictures on your own computer, so looking at an image never uploads it. If you save from your iPhone, those files travel through your own iCloud Drive.
Will it move my files without asking?
Only things in Inbox, and only if you switch it on. With Sorting Inbox on, new things in Inbox are filed when Studiolo is sure where they go, and each one is listed with Undo. Nothing outside Inbox is ever moved on its own.
What happens if I move a file in Finder?
Studiolo notices and keeps up. It recognizes a file by what is inside it rather than by where it was, so a description follows the photo to its new name or folder. One thing does cost you: a photo you had already placed on a canvas is remembered by where it was, so that canvas item breaks and asks to be pointed at the file again rather than guessing.
Do I need the MCP?
No, it is optional, and nothing needs it to work. It is there for the slow parts: an AI assistant can search the archive, look at the images, and write the names and notes that make things easy to find. It can't delete anything or change your canvases.
Do I need the browser extension?
No, it is optional. Without it you can still drop files on the Dock icon, drag them in from Finder, or paste them. The extension is for saving what you are looking at on a page without breaking off to do it, and it works in Chrome, Edge, Brave, Arc, and Firefox.
Can I save from my phone?
Yes, from an iPhone. Studiolo shows a code to scan that adds Save to Studiolo to your share sheet.
Is there a Windows or Android version?
Not yet. Studiolo is for the Mac, and saving from a phone works with an iPhone.
