I take screenshots all the time. This could be useful for managing all of them (and cleaning up my desktop).

This is such a small tweak yet a huge help. I take a HUGE number of screenshots every day to communicate bugs, annotate upcoming features, etc. on @crunchbase. This just makes it that *little* bit easier to not hunt through the Dropbox folder for the right image to attach to JIRA or an email. Great idea.

I use CloudApp at the moment to automatically upload my screenshots and put a URL in my clipboard, but this is exactly what I needed for times when attaching an actual image is better than sending a URL to an image and I don't want to go digging in my screenshots folder

i wish Apple had addressed that issue since. Every screenshot both on iOS and OSX should be automatically indexed in a screenshot folder instead of creating such a mess in our photo files....will get a shot at this one...i am personally using skitch and hope it will work with it too

This is great. I take a lot of screenshots and was sick of the clutter so I changed the default destination of where these screenshots go (a "screenshots" folder). Definitely gonna try this out! http://www.maclife.com/article/c...

I'm a fan of this already. Like @rrhoover said, I also take a ton of screenshots and this is a great little shortcut.

I use ⌘ + ⇧ + 4 multiple times a day. This could definitely clean up that flow. Nice work!

Such an awesome product. This, along with switching the location where your screenshots are saved, allows you to have a very quick access to your screenshots, while maintaining a clutter-free desktop. Thanks a lot to the makers for keeping this free.

If this worked with CloudUp then it'd be perfect for me. Like @rrhoover I take a lot of screenshots. They used to be handled by Dropbox, but I've since moved to CloudUp and need a better way of organising them.

You can also accomplish some easy screenshot managing using folder actions in automator. I have an action that automatically moves screenshots to a screenshot folder that I keep in my dock, pretty useful.

Are the Screenshots still saved in their previous folder (e.g. Dropbox)?

Hi everyone, we can't even believe what a great response we've had. Huge thanks to Product Hunt for helping out all these independent software startups/companies! To answer a few questions: QuickShot is not really made to compete with applications like Ember. Ember is a fully-featured photo and screenshot editor and also costs a whopping $49.99 on the App Store. QuickShot however, is a lightweight tool designed to speed up your workflow and provide users an easy way to share and manage their screenshots from their menubar. It's also free for a limited time, and will never be more expensive than a good cup of coffee :) Also, we'd love to add naming and tagging screenshots, but we need user support to make that happen. We're just a small team of two UCSD students, and we wanted to make sure that the community is interested in the app before we committed even more time and resources into it. Thanks to this great response though, hopefully we can make that happen :)

This is a nice alternative to dropbox. Right now, all of my screen shots automatically go into a dropbox screenshot folder. That is really convenient but having quick access from the desktop would come in handy a lot.

What are the features that would make an Ember user switch to QuickShot? :)

I love the way Dropbox handles my screenshots, and also camera uploads. I set the Screenshots and Camera Uploads folders to my Dock and whenever I take a new one of either it's easily accessible. Clean it out every couple of months but pretty reliable, especially with the share link immediately generated. Makes for less load on Messages and Email.

I don't mean to be that guy that over hypes a product but this is LIFECHANGING! Super simple and easy organizing for all the screen grabs of my life. Can you add a tag or name a screenshot too?
