What is ShotSnap?
ShotSnap solves Desktop Clutter for developers and designers.
The Problem
Screenshots pile up on your Desktop with generic names like "Screenshot 2026-...", creating a mess that's hard to organize.
The Solution
ShotSnap auto-organizes your screenshots for Mac as you take them. It intercepts new screenshots and automatically moves them into the correct folders based on their content.
Not Just "Stacks"
Unlike macOS Stacks which just groups files visually on your desktop, ShotSnap actually organizes your file system permanently.
Local-First Storage
Your screenshots live on your Mac, not in the cloud. We don't have access to your file system.
Ephemeral Processing
When using AI features, data is processed securely in memory and immediately discarded. No logs, no retention.
Zero Training Data
Your personal data and screenshots are never used to train our AI models. What you capture stays yours.
Smart Organization
Never lose a screenshot again. AI automatically categorizes your captures into your local folder like Code, Design, and more.
- AI-powered auto-categorization
- Custom smart folders
- Category-specific save paths
- Visual category icons

As you can see, one click and everything gets sorted into folders instantly.
My messy desktop was cleaned up in minutes.
Honestly, glad I kept it messy just for this demo 😅
This is one of those “why didn’t I do this earlier” features.
Ship > clean > ship again.
