Better names for web pages, design canvases and other overview screens.
Better names
Web pages are named after the page, not the site. A GitHub repository is named after the repository (“localkit, GitHub”) and a product page after the product (“Apple HomeView”), instead of “GitHub page” or a stray line of text from the page.
Overview screens are named after their title. A design canvas, board or long document with several sections of the same size is named from the title at the top of the window (“ClearSpend - High-fidelity UI”), not from its first section.
Section numbers are left out. “2 · Capture” or “02: Capture” becomes “Capture”. Numbers that belong to the name, like “2024 tax return” or “1.5x speed”, stay.
Fixed
“UI” no longer comes out as “Ul” when the text reader misreads the capital I.
Names no longer end in a needless “page” (“Apple HomeView page” → “Apple HomeView”).
Rules, smart folders, duplicates and retakes, Spotlight, better recordings, and names that learn from your edits.
New
Rules. Settings › Rules files new screenshots for you. Each rule reads as a sentence, like “When text mentions receipt → move to Receipts”. Rules can move a screenshot to a folder, add a tag, or move it to the Trash after a number of days. Under each rule you can see how many screenshots it matches today. “Apply to these…” files the screenshots you already have, after you review the list, and Undo all puts them back.
Smart folders. The Library sidebar has “New smart folder”, which uses the same sentence editor as rules. A folder names itself after its conditions, and it also shows up as a filter in ⌥ Space.
Duplicates and retakes. Library › Duplicates finds exact copies and retakes (almost the same screenshot, taken within 10 minutes). Each set has one screenshot picked to keep. ⌘↩ keeps that one and moves the others to the Trash, and ⌘Z undoes it.
Spotlight. ⌘ Space now finds screenshots by the words inside them. Screenshots that contain secrets are never added to Spotlight. You can turn this off in Settings, and turning it off removes everything Shotlight added.
Finder tags (off by default). Shotlight can add Code, Receipt and rule tags to the files. It never removes tags you added yourself.
Better screen recordings. Shotlight now reads 4 frames across a recording instead of 1. It can also transcribe what was said, on your Mac, if macOS already has a speech model installed (it never downloads one). Search by what was said, and the preview starts playing at that moment. In the Library, move the pointer across a recording to look through it.
Learns from your edits. When you rename a screenshot, Shotlight remembers the new name. After three edits that agree, it asks once, for example “You usually drop the app name. Always?”. Settings › Naming lists everything it learned, and you can remove any of it. It keeps only the names you typed, never the text on the screen.
A weekly line in the menu. “This week · 14 filed · 6 trashed · 3 duplicates removed”. Click a number to see those screenshots. Shotlight shows no notifications.
Fixed
Previewing a screen recording in ⌥ Space no longer shows a spinner that never stops.
Named the moment you take it. New screenshots and screen recordings get a clear name from the text inside them, with Undo in the little pill that appears.
⌥ Space to find any screenshot by the words in it, with filters, previews and keyboard shortcuts for everything.
Tidy Up renames the screenshots you already have, after you review every name, with one Undo all.
Library window: browse by day or app, find duplicates, save searches.
Sensitive guard: screenshots with passwords, keys or card numbers are blurred and kept out of search. One-time codes can move to the Trash on their own after a few days.
Names your way: short, standard or detailed, with or without app and date, your separator and letter case.
