I've been building a desktop app on the side that addresses the problem of screenshots getting accumulated on disk over a period of time. It provides an alternate workflow for capturing screenshots, where the app let's the user select tags before taking the screenshot. Tags can be associated with actions such as "move to trash after 1 day", "delete after 7 days" or "store in /specific/location".

I have got the main functionality working and I've been using it myself in a crude way (using sqlite client directly for data entry etc.) for about a week. It was not meant to be a serious project to begin with - I just wanted to build something to evaluate Tauri for desktop apps. I am still not 100% convinced if such a tool is worth building, so the code hasn't been published anywhere. Do you care enough about "screenshots management and cleanup" to use something like this?
