Where do your screenshots end up five minutes after you take them?

by•

I'm Yun, and I launched ShotJar today. I built it because of one small annoyance: I'd take a screenshot, miss the thumbnail in the corner, and then go digging through Desktop or Finder to drag it into Slack.

Before I built anything I asked a few people how they handle this, and the answers were all over the place: a Desktop full of files, a dedicated folder they clean out monthly, copying to the clipboard only and never saving, or a capture tool with its own history.

So I'm curious how people here do it. Do you save screenshots to a file, or only copy to the clipboard? When you need one from ten minutes ago, how do you find it? And does anyone actually search screenshots by the text in them?

ShotJar's answer is a shelf in the menu bar that holds your recent screenshots, ready to drag into another app, with text search that runs on your Mac. It works alongside macOS capture, CleanShot X or Shottr. I'd like to hear where that falls short for how you work.
