ScreenshotTray

ScreenshotTray

The screenshot tray the Mac should have had.

Keep screenshots and screen recordings within reach, clear them off the Desktop, and move faster when you need to preview, rename, drag, or share what you just captured into bug reports, docs, Claude, Codex, and the AI coding loop.

Version 1.2.311 · macOS 14 Sonoma and later

Why ScreenshotTray earns a place on your Mac.

It is built for what happens after you take a screenshot: finding it, recognising it, dragging it, and getting back to work.

No more Desktop screenshot piles

Move captures into a dedicated folder, keep them off the Desktop, and automatically clear older screenshots on your schedule.

Every capture stays within reach

Reveal the tray from any edge of the screen and keep screenshots and screen recordings close without covering the whole desktop.

Made for Claude, Codex, and AI coding

Take a screenshot, drag it straight into Claude, Codex, or another AI coding tool, and keep the supporting captures nearby while you iterate.

Recognisable filenames

On macOS 26, ScreenshotTray can use Apple's built-in vision features for on-device filename enrichment. Pro adds broader AI naming workflows with your own cloud providers.

Built for screenshot-heavy work Pro

Watch additional folders such as Xcode and Simulator screenshots when your workflow spills beyond the default screenshot location.

Three modes with personality

Choose Liquid Glass, Floating Cards, or Platinum depending on whether you want modern polish, depth, or a classic Mac nod.

Fast actions without context switching

Crop in place, Quick Look full size, open in Preview or Photoshop, and delete the things you do not need without dropping out of the tray.

Quick share when you need a link

Send captures to configured destinations and copy the resulting link fast when a screenshot needs to leave your Mac.

Optional integrations, clear boundaries.

ScreenshotTray works as a normal Mac app out of the box. On macOS 26, Apple-powered on-device filename enrichment stays on your Mac. When you choose cloud AI naming or share destinations, those connections go directly to the provider you picked.
