Screenshot Ledger is a macOS utility designed to help users keep their screenshots and screen recordings organized and easily understandable. It addresses the common issue of cluttered or ambiguously named visual files by automatically organizing them in a user-selected folder and generating clearer, more descriptive file names. The tool operates entirely on the user's Mac, using local OCR to extract visible text from images and recordings, ensuring that no files are uploaded to external servers during the process.

One of the core features of Screenshot Ledger is its ability to automatically organize new screenshot images and screen recordings as they are added to a specified folder. Users can choose to have only new files organized, with existing files in the folder marked as protected and skipped by default. The app generates a readable Markdown index within the selected folder, allowing users to review organized files, summaries, tags, status, and the mode in which files were processed. This index provides a structured overview of visual records, making it easier to locate and reference specific items.

Screenshot Ledger also maintains a local history of organization actions, enabling users to review recent changes and restore supported renamed files to their original names if needed. This undo capability adds a layer of safety and flexibility to file management. The tool is intended for everyday use cases such as managing app review screenshots, documenting build errors, capturing settings screens, recording product notes, and organizing other visual work records. All processing and organization occur locally on the Mac, emphasizing privacy and data security.

Screenshot Ledger is positioned as a utility for Mac users who regularly work with screenshots and screen recordings and require a more organized and searchable archive of their visual documentation.
