When you press Win + PrintScreen on Windows, files keep piling up in ピクチャ > スクリーンショット. Before you know it, there are hundreds of them. Every time you search for "that screen from last month," you're stuck scrolling through hell. The more screenshots you take, the more this folder becomes a lawless zone.
Manually sorting them into date folders doesn't stick. So I thought: what if it automatically sorted them the moment you took them? I wanted just that one tool, so I built it.
Since it's a resident application, the ideal is for you to not even notice it's there.
- Incredibly lightweight: A single native executable at about 2.5MB. Actual memory usage while running is around 12MB. No runtime installation needed.
- Only runs when you take a screenshot: Event-driven, not periodic scanning. It does almost nothing while you're not doing anything.
- Safe: All it does is move files. It never deletes anything. All operations are logged so you can check them later.
It sits in the notification area (tray) of your taskbar. Right-click the icon and you instantly get options like pause/resume, organize now, open today's folder, and settings.
I originally wrote it quickly in PowerShell for myself. It worked, but when running as a resident app, the PowerShell runtime would stick around and consume over 100MB of memory. Plus, with periodic execution, the console would flicker briefly. It was fine for personal use, but I didn't feel right distributing it to others like that.
So for public release, I rewrote it in C# with NativeAOT. It became a single exe with zero dependencies, compiled to native code, and memory usage dropped to about 1/8. For folder monitoring, I switched to FileSystemWatcher with event-driven detection so it only reacts the moment you take a screenshot. For the tray UI, since WinForms isn't available in NativeAOT, I implemented it by directly calling Win32 APIs.
