Overview

TidyShot is a lightweight macOS menu bar app that automatically organizes your screenshots as you take them. It watches your screenshot folder, intelligently renames files using OCR to read on-screen content, and sorts them into organized folder structures by source app, date, or content type. Access recent screenshots from a floating shelf via a hotkey, drag them into other apps, and search across all your screenshots by text content, app name, or date using Core Spotlight. Fully offline — no cloud, no accounts, no data leaves your Mac.
