Junk Yard · Search, filters and colours
Does Junk Yard search work on a Mac without Apple Intelligence?
Short answer: Yes. Without Apple Intelligence, search still matches words, file names and text inside images on your Mac; only Smart find's plain-language search needs Apple Intelligence.
Yes. Without Apple Intelligence, search still works on your Mac — it matches the words in your scraps, file names, and the text it reads inside images. What you don't get is the plain-language part of Smart find, which needs a Mac with Apple Intelligence.
Everything else in the Junk Yard — capture, filters, colours, pins, the curtain — works the same on every supported Mac.
