What it is
`xevrion/gyotaku` is described as a native Linux, offline tool for searching screenshots by the text they contain. The description names PaddleOCR, SQLite, and GPUI. The repository's README preview includes performance figures, but they are project-reported measurements and are not independently verified here.
Described capabilities
The preview says screenshots become searchable through text recognition and gives an example of search latency for a collection of 5,000 or more images. It also reports a screenshot-to-searchable time and a window summon time. The supplied excerpt truncates further performance details; exact hardware, test conditions, indexing behavior, and image-format coverage are not available in the evidence.
Getting started
No installation or usage steps were supplied. Read the repository README for current Linux requirements, setup, and supported workflows. The description specifically calls the project offline and native Linux; compatibility with other operating systems is not established by the supplied information.
