Make screenshots easier to name and find on Mac

What is Keep it shot?

Keep It Shot is a Mac app for turning a folder of screenshots and media files into something easier to browse. It uses AI to suggest descriptive filenames and builds a local search index from extracted text, short descriptions, and keywords. This addresses two familiar problems: timestamp filenames that reveal little about an image, and useful screenshots that disappear into a growing collection before you need them again.

Rename an existing collection or new captures

The app supports batch renaming, shows progress, and lets you set naming preferences. You can also enable renaming when a new screenshot is created. Start with a small group from a familiar project to see whether the names describe what you would search for later. If a naming pass is unsuitable, the product provides a way to restore the original filenames.

Search for what the screenshot contains

A rename request also produces OCR text, an image or video description, and keywords for the local index. That gives search more to work with than the filename alone. For a saved interface example, try the visible button text or the subject of the screen. The search index works offline; that specific capability does not establish that every AI processing step happens on your Mac.

Features to explore

• Batch descriptive filename generation
• Automatic naming for new screenshots
• Original filename restoration
• Local search with OCR and keywords

Who is Keep it shot for?

Useful for designers, researchers, and anyone who saves reference screenshots on a Mac. It is especially relevant when the collection is large enough that remembering dates and manually opening thumbnails no longer works well.

Before you get started

Check the app's processing and privacy details before indexing sensitive screenshots. Review a small batch first, and distinguish the offline search index from any services used to analyze images or generate filenames.
