TempShot

About

Every screenshot you take for an AI conversation ends up as clutter on your desktop or Downloads folder. TempShot fixes that: screenshots are saved temporarily inside the extension, auto-copied to your clipboard, and auto-deleted after they've served their purpose.

THE WORKFLOW
1. Press the keyboard shortcut (Alt+Shift+S, customizable)
2. See the flash — your screenshot is already on your clipboard
3. Paste straight into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or any AI chat
4. No file saved anywhere. No cleanup. Ever.

FEATURES
• One-keystroke visible-area capture with instant clipboard copy
• Full-page scrolling capture — stitches the whole page into one image
• Export full-page captures as PNG or multi-page PDF (great for uploading long docs to AI tools)
• Temporary gallery: thumbnails, copy, download, preview, delete
• Auto-delete after 1 hour, 24 hours, or 7 days (your choice)
• Customizable keyboard shortcuts for both capture modes
• Clean, minimal popup — light and dark mode

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• 100% local: screenshots never leave your browser
• Zero network requests — no servers, no account, no analytics, no tracking
• No "read your browsing history" permission
• Open source: github.com/rikhilbollu-maker/TempShot

WHO IT'S FOR
Anyone who screenshots things to show an AI: developers sharing error messages, students capturing lecture slides, researchers grabbing article sections, anyone tired of a desktop full of "Screen Shot 2026-07-01 at 9.42.15 PM.png".

Note: like all extensions, TempShot can't capture Chrome's internal pages or scroll Chrome's built-in PDF viewer (visible-area capture still works there page by page).
