Tidyshot - menu bar app that auto-organizes your screenshots. One click to copy, search by text inside them

I take tons of screenshots every day. Need to find that one error message from Tuesday? Good luck scrolling through 200 files all named "Screenshot 2026-03-25 at 14.32.05.png".

Tidyshot sits in your menu bar and does one thing well - organizes your screenshots automatically as you take them.

What it does:

  • Watches your screenshot folder and picks up new screenshots instantly
  • Works with any images, not just screenshots. Drop photos, designs, receipts into a watched folder and Tidyshot organizes them too
  • Detects which app was active (Chrome, Figma, Terminal, Slack, etc.)
  • Runs OCR on every screenshot so you can search by text content later
  • One click on any screenshot copies it to clipboard. Paste anywhere - Finder, email, Slack, whatever
  • Right-click any screenshot to extract and copy all text from it

What it doesn't do:

  • No capture tools. Use whatever you already use - native macOS, CleanShot, Shottr. Tidyshot picks up after
  • No cloud. Everything runs on-device using Apple Vision framework

Since launch people asked for a bunch of stuff and most of it is already shipped:

- Multi-folder watching with individual rules per folder

- Option to disable auto-sort if you prefer files to stay in place

- Hot corner activation - just move your mouse to a screen corner

- Watches any image files not just screenshots

- Family Sharing enabled

- Clipboard paste now works in Finder folders too

Currently working on polishing the UI and overall experience based on user feedback.

Btw if you want Tidyshot to fully replace the native screenshot popup - press ⌘⇧5, click Options, and uncheck "Show Floating Thumbnail". Then Tidyshot handles everything.

Hush - hit #9 on Product Hunt - blur your desktop automatically when screen sharing starts (macOS)

I built a Mac menu bar app that hides your desktop mess during screen sharing. Recently launched it on Product Hunt and hit #9 of the day with 100+ upvotes.

The most popular feature is Focus Mode - you pick which apps stay visible and everything else gets blurred. So instead of sharing a single window and resharing every time you need to show something else (which totally breaks the flow), you just share your whole screen and cmd+tab between anything. Only the apps you chose are visible, the rest is hidden.

It also auto-detects when screen sharing starts and activates on its own. When the call ends, it turns off. No need to remember anything.

One-time $4.99 on the Mac App Store. No subscriptions, no data collection totally offline.

App Store: Hush

Happy to answer any questions!
