My Screenshots folder had 247 files in it when I finally looked. Every single one named Screenshot (N).png.

I needed one for a bug report last month. I knew I'd taken it, I remembered roughly what was on screen, and I still opened forty files one by one to find it. That's when I admitted this isn't a discipline problem. The naming in every screenshot tool happens after you've already moved on, and "later" never comes.

So I built the thing I couldn't find. It's called Tamer, a small Windows tray app.

How it works:

  1. Hit Print Screen (or Ctrl+Shift+S), draw a box around what you want

  2. While the capture is still in front of you, it reads the app you were in and the text on screen, and suggests a name

  3. Tag it Keep, Bug, or Later

  4. Enter. It saves into your normal Screenshots folder, already named and searchable

Happy to answer anything. Genuinely want the criticism too, especially the "why wouldn't I just..." kind. That's how the next version gets better.
