My Mac had 847 screenshots. I built a Chrome extension to fix my AI dev workflow.
I'm currently building 3 apps simultaneously, all with AI. Claude is basically my pair programmer at this point.
But I kept running into the same friction loop:
- Claude Chat → generates a plan / prompt
- Feed it to Claude Code → UI gets built
- OS screenshot → automatically saved to disk
- Switch back to Claude Chat → find the file, drag it in → "this isn't right, fix X"
- Repeat 4–6 times until it looks correct
- Delete all the throwaway screenshots from Desktop
Because AI doesn't get it right on the first try. The loop is the workflow.
After a few weeks of this, my Desktop had 847 screenshots. No joke. Half of them named Screenshot 2026-05-18 at 3.47.22 AM.png. Completely useless after the session.
So I built Stashshot — a Chrome extension where:
⌘⇧Sscreenshots the full page instantly⌘⇧Xlets you drag-select just an area- Screenshots queue up in the extension — nothing saved to disk
- Switch to Claude, press
⌘⇧U→ every screenshot injects into the chat at once - Type your prompt and send
Also works great for mobile views — open DevTools device emulation, hit ⌘⇧S, and the mobile screenshot goes straight into the queue. I used this a lot while building a Flutter app.
It's free, no sign-up needed: https://www.stashshot.app/
Would love feedback from anyone else deep in AI-assisted dev. Does your screenshot chaos look like mine?
