I built CacheTray – Send Screenshots & Code to AI Chats

Funny story — when I launched it here on Product Hunt, I genuinely had

zero expectations. I thought maybe a handful of people would stumble

across it. By the end of the day it had hit #44. That kind of response

pushed me to keep building and ship v1.4.2, which is what I'm sharing

today.

The problem it solves:

Every time I used Claude or ChatGPT, I found myself in the same loop —

copy snippet, switch tab, paste, go back, copy something else, switch

tab again. For screenshots it was even worse: download the file, drag

it in, hope the upload works. This context-switching friction adds up

fast.

What CacheTray does:

- Automatically captures everything you copy — code, text, links, and

screenshots — the moment you copy it

- Stores it all in a sidebar organized by workspaces

- Lets you select multiple items and send them directly into Claude or

ChatGPT in one click — no file downloads, no manual pasting, no tab

juggling

Who gets the most out of it:

Developers — grabbing error messages, Stack Overflow snippets, and

terminal output across multiple tabs and sending them all to Claude at

once for context

Researchers & students — collecting quotes and links from different

sources, then feeding them to ChatGPT to summarize or synthesize

without losing your place

Writers & content creators — stashing reference material, tone

examples, and notes while browsing, then pulling them all into a single

AI prompt

Designers & PMs — capturing screenshots of UI references or competitor

pages and sending them directly to Claude for feedback or comparison —

no downloading, no dragging

A few things worth knowing:

- Zero network calls — everything stays in your browser and

auto-expires after 3 days for privacy

- Works in a sidebar so it never interrupts your flow

- Free to install, no account needed

Would love feedback from anyone who does heavy AI-assisted work. What

would make this a must-have for your workflow?
