The new 'Remember This' shortcut offers a powerful way to capture on-screen information that isn't easily saved, like an interesting product on a website or a key part of a text conversation. Instead of just taking a screenshot that gets lost in your photo library, this feature uses AI to automatically analyze the content, generate a title and summary, and save it all into a searchable Apple Note for later.
This feature is a pre-built shortcut designed for quick activation from your iPhone's Control Center. When triggered, it performs a sequence of actions without any user input: it takes a screenshot of your current screen, sends the image to an AI model to extract context, generates a title and summary, pulls any visible URLs, and compiles everything into a new, organized note in your Apple Notes app.
For better organization, create a specific folder in Apple Notes (e.g., "Things to Remember") and configure the shortcut to save all new notes there. You can edit the shortcut and change the destination folder in the Create note with action. This turns your Notes app into an intelligent memory bank for anything you see on your screen.
The 'Remember This' shortcut transforms the simple act of taking a screenshot into an intelligent information-capturing workflow. By using AI to automatically add context and organize everything in Apple Notes, it solves the problem of having a camera roll full of context-free images. It's an ideal tool for quickly saving visual information you want to act on or refer back to later.
