ShotCubby sits in your menu bar and catches every screenshot macOS takes, whether full screen, selection or clipboard. Each one is filed in one folder before it touches your Desktop, and any of them is two keystrokes away.
Click the menu bar icon to see your latest captures. Click a name to rename it, and the file in the folder is renamed with it.
ShotCubby watches the four shortcuts you already use and redirects the result. It adds one of its own for search.
| Shortcut | macOS default | With ShotCubby |
|---|---|---|
| ⌘ ⇧ 3 | Saves full screen to Desktop | Moved to ~/ShotCubby |
| ⌘ ⇧ 4 | Saves selection to Desktop | Moved to ~/ShotCubby |
| ⌘ ⇧ ⌃ 3 | Copies full screen to clipboard | Clipboard image saved to ~/ShotCubby |
| ⌘ ⇧ ⌃ 4 | Copies selection to clipboard | Clipboard image saved to ~/ShotCubby |
| ⌃ , | Nothing | Opens quick search · customizable |
Rename any screenshot straight from the popover. The file on disk follows, so Finder and Spotlight find it later.
Copy, reveal in Finder or delete, right from the thumbnail.
Screenshots copied with ⌃ are saved as files, not lost at the next copy.
Developer ID build notarized by Apple. No Gatekeeper warnings.
Swift 5.9, SwiftUI and AppKit with zero external dependencies. FSEvents watches your screenshot folder and the clipboard is checked every 0.8 s, so a capture is caught either way.
