Screenshot Drawer
Drag your recent Mac screenshots anywhere, instantly
- Problem
- Apple's screenshot experience is bad: you take a screenshot and then race to drag it into the target app, or dig through folders. Someone built a simple extension where a shortcut opens a drawer of recent screenshots that are fully drag-and-droppable.
- Solution
- A minimal macOS menu bar app that watches the screenshot folder, opens a recent-screenshot panel with a global shortcut, supports search, pinning, dragging into any app, and one-click path copy.
- Users
- Heavy Mac screenshot users, designers, support, content creators
- MVP
- Watch system screenshot folder; global shortcut opens panel; thumbnail grid of recent screenshots; drag to other apps; click to copy to clipboard
- Revenue
- One-time purchase or low-cost annual subscription, distribute via Mac App Store
- Why now
- A classic personal-software need; an indie already built it fast with AI, proving low barrier and real demand
