The problem
Screenshots vanish.
You take a screenshot, the preview disappears before you can drag it anywhere, and the file gets lost on a Desktop full of Screenshot 2026-10-08 at 5.41.12 PM.png.
How it works
Snap. Pile. Drop.
01Snap.
Take a screenshot as usual (⇧ ⌘ 4). A little instant camera in the corner prints it like a Polaroid, feeding it out of the slot. Wiggle the pointer to develop it faster.
02Pile.
Prints land on a pile in the corner. Hover to fan them out, newest first, with quick actions on each print.
03Drop.
Drag any print into Slack, Mail, Figma, or Finder. Double-click to open it.
Features
Small app. Lots of care.
Where’d It Go? lives in your menu bar and stays out of the way until you take a screenshot.
Copy, Copy Text, Open
Hover a print for Copy, Copy Text, Open, and Show in Finder. No right-click needed.
A camera with personality
Its lens follows your pointer, and each print slides out of the slot with a soft paper hush.
Sweep, then undo
Sweep the pile away with a swish and a poof, and undo if you change your mind. Your files are never touched.
Today in the menu bar
Today’s prints as a contact sheet, grouped into morning, afternoon, and evening.
Respects your setup
Works with any screenshot folder, Reduce Motion, VoiceOver, and launch at login.
Fresh off the press
Fed out like real instant film.
Each print takes about two seconds to leave the slot. It curls out as a flexible sheet that sags under its own weight, then drops flat and starts developing.
A camera with personality
It watches your pointer.
The lens follows your pointer, and each print slides out of the slot with a soft paper hush. Done for the day? Sweep the pile away, or undo if you change your mind. Your files are never touched.
The menu bar
Today, at a glance.
Click the camera in the menu bar for a contact sheet of today’s prints. Open one with a click or drag it anywhere. Round switches keep the pile on screen, print instantly, copy each shot, tidy the Desktop, and turn sounds on or off.
