RenameShot — AI screenshot rename & search

Turn screenshots into searchable filenames with AI

Problem

Screenshots pile up as meaningless files like Screenshot 2024-01-01.png, forcing users to remember time or scroll through thumbnails. Manual renaming is painful, and screenshot content varies: code, chats, web pages, charts—hard to handle with plain OCR.

Solution

RenameShot watches a folder and automatically analyzes each screenshot to generate descriptive filenames like 'GitHub_issue_memory_leak_discussion'. It uses local OCR plus a lightweight classifier, supports custom naming templates, and keeps a rename history for easy rollback.

Users

Developers, PMs, designers, researchers—anyone who screenshots frequently.

MVP

Watch folders on macOS/Windows; local OCR for text; lightweight model to generate 3-5 keywords; rename via template with undo history; search box to find by filename.

Revenue

Freemium: 100 images/month free, subscription for unlimited, custom templates, batch rename.

Why now

OCR and small vision models are cheap enough to run locally or on low-cost cloud; indie developers can ship a desktop tool fast and monetize via subscription.
