ScreenshotSweeper 🎯

A smart, lightweight Windows app that automatically cleans up your screenshots.

ScreenshotSweeper keeps your screenshots folder clutter-free by automatically deleting temporary screenshots after a set time, while letting you permanently keep the important ones. It runs quietly in the background and gives you full control through toast notifications, presets, and a clean modern UI.

🎯 Why ScreenshotSweeper?

Because screenshots are temporary by nature. Your storage should treat them that way.

Take freely. Keep only what matters. Delete the rest automatically.
