Pager
An app that turns the junk drawer of your screenshot folder into a live layer of the internet. Screenshot the jacket someone wore on TikTok, the song tagged in a friend's story, the restaurant in a stranger's photo dump — Pager identifies what's in the frame and makes each object a tappable link. Buy the jacket. Play the song. Save the spot.
Share any of it with one tap. Built around lists, so the things you collect become movie nights, restaurant rounds, gift guides — and the screenshot finally does something.
The idea
The screenshot is the internet's most-used save button, and every save is a dead end — a picture of a thing instead of the thing. Pager's bet: make the save open back up.
The scan
Screenshot in, links out. A dot lands on everything Pager recognizes — the design job was keeping that layer light, so the image stays the hero and one tap goes straight through.
The drawer
Before Pager does anything clever, it does something obvious: it sorts the folder. Screenshots filed by where they came from — Instagram, Twitter, TikTok, Spotify — so the pile becomes a library and the thing you half-remember saving is findable.
The handoff
Sharing a screenshot used to mean sending a picture and typing the rest. Pager sends the rest — the find arrives with its links attached, already explained.

Pager's app gives screenshots superpowers.
The work
The app came out of one file — the scan, the dots, the lists — and so did the responsive web beside it, the motion running on this page, the social cuts, the pitch decks. One hand on all of it.
